cheers!

Cardenas got a contract a couple of days ago with the small Spanish team Jazztel-Costa de Almeria. Justice have been made!

Vo2

Prolinx, do you think he'll be able to further his career there, tho? Is it the type of team that can set him up for bigger things?

Jazztel-Costa de Almeria will for sure do the Vuelta a España and all the other big races in Spain, if he performs well there he may move on to another team the following season.

Guest

Jazztel is propably nt going to ride the vuelta, bcause it says in the rules that the organicers shall pick the teams from a
sporting point of wiew and there is a lot of GS 1 teams ahead of them

Guest

13 teams are already classified and will participate in the Vuelta. There are 14 candidates for the remaining 8 places: Colchon Relax-Fuenlabrada, Jazztel-Costa de Almeria, Gerolsteiner, Team Coast, Team Nürnberger, Phonak, Saeco, Mercatone Uno, AG2R, Jean Delatour, Acqua e Sapone, Milaneza-MSS, BigMat, LA Pecol.

I've heard that all Spanish teams have an agreement with their federation that they are free to participate in any Spanish race on the professional calender.

Guest

Maybe but if they do it dont include the major tours any more

Vo2

Will we see Mercatone Uno with Pantani in it at the Vuelta, or is it a scaled down Mercatone team?

Saw a guy from Mercatone Uno  racing round here a few weeks ago, he got his butt kicked bigtime. I can't beleive he's actually getting paid to ride, even the part timers here didn't get dropped on the first climb  :
I doubt he would have finished a B grade crit at AFL park  

i dont know his name, nor do I care  ;D maybe he couldn't get his EPO through customs? hehe

later!

Guest

I don't think that they will get a wild card, they only have Pantani and he is only a shadow of himselv

Vo2

I know Pantani is the bad boy of cycling, but I'd love to see him come back into form. The Tour would be even more interesting with him around.

Felix went to CAGE.
It's strange but i think CAGE is a good team with Hernan Buenahora and Felix Cardenas as drivers.
But I even think Kelme is stuppid by selling Felix.
I hope Felix shows what kind of driver he is in the Giro D'Italia!

Bye Chr.Casero Coast

I understand that Cage Maglierie-Olmo hired Cardenas and a number of riders from the former Liquigas team. Could be a strong line-up. Anybody knows what they've achieved so far this year?
