According to France 2, XXX will be Siemens.
I`m sceptical about this, but if that were true it would mean a very strong partner...
And it could mean the team might be interested in a few of the German Milram guys like Knees, Ciolek and Wegmann...
It would be a very strong and interesting sponsor indeed, however I'm not sure that it is for real, I would put my money on jabra/GN

That rumor might just have popped up because there are Siemens logos on the new kitchen truck. AFAIK these logos are there because of the Siemens devices used in the kitchen (oven, fridge etc).

| Siemens as sponsor and some Milram riders, and some young german talents = a Danish-German power team. I wouldn't mind that, actually. |

I knew for Basso and Nibali but i thought Kreuziger's contract ended in 2010.
Menchov should sign for Katusha but i wouldn't be interested anyway. LL Sanchez is a very good rider but i don't think he can become a GC leader.
Nicolas Roche would be a good prospect i think.
edit : Roche is contracted until 2011. |

I would be interested in Fedrigo, Voekler and Charteau cause Bbox wont have a sponsor for next year.
Also Uran and Da Costa cause its the same thing for Caisse d'Epargne. |

Yeah, Pierre Rolland is a good young talent but still to young (Maybe the next young talent for Bjarne!), Cyril Gautieris a guy made for stages like today! |

I think they aren't good enough at the moment and i doubt they can improve a lot to win a GT. Moreover i don't see them leaving France right now but if he can sign them i wouldn't say no, but not for GC. |

I think Pierre Rolland can do a top 15-20 in a couple of years. |

Top 20 is not interesting for us, we already have CAS and Richie Porte who are able to do a Top 20. If only we could keep Fuglsang... |

Could someone like Gripel be intresing for the team? Im personally not that keen on sprinters but if the team can't get a podium contender for the tour, then maybe Greipel could win some stages?
I would rather have a podium contender for sure, but if there aren't any? |

 Very interesting, indeed. I could not believe it if it was true. What could Siemens want in cycling?
But it would sound good, Siemens-Sungard. Snappy. |

We could also hope that it's Google that prefered us over HTC-Columbia. I'm sure they would be excelent to search for new riders
