Normaly his contract is till 2011, but on le Port de Bales he asked John Gadret (who extended his contract) to give him his tire and wait for him cause he had a flat tire, but he said no. now the 2 (especially Roche) don't want to see eachother so maybe he is willing to change team. |

I would also like to see Ciolek on the team. He is so talented, but as all other riders entering Milram he has become waaay worse on that team.
also Niki Terpstra would be nice or how about Taaramae? (but is he clean?)
In order to really understand me you must think
Ciolek would be great for supporting Fabian in the classics (if Matti leaves).

After reading his blogs, etc., after this event, it really does sound like he'd like to leave!

I was also disappointed to discover that Roche's contract lasts through 2011, as he is another rider, whom I would very much like to see on Saxo Bank in the future. But given the special circumstances, it seems likely that Gadret and Roche won't be on the same team. But it seems that Vincent Lavenu of their team was equally unimpressed (even furious) with Gadret, so maybe it will be Gadret and not Roche, who will leave, French or not.
But I'm certainly hoping for Roche, who would be a great addition to the team, as he can be a valuable helper and a very likely stage winner in races such as the Tour de France.

My wishes:
Thor Hushovd... strong in the spring classics and he is always delivering something big in Le Tour... and the fact that he is scandinavian to,especially if the danish rising stars is leaving!
Michail Ignatiev: a very strong rider. Could be the replacement for "Der Alte" Jens Voigt. Always riding the races from the front and has a big big engine! If we wont have a top contender for the GC in next years tour, Thor and Ignatiev would be huge assets to the team!
Thomas Løvkvist: Riis could give him the last step!
Nicholas Roche: Getting better and better and could also be a solid asset in the spring hilly classics I think
Rigoberto Uran: A huge talent who can everything.... could be exciting to see watch him grow at this new team!

Horner is a good rider, but next year the guy will be 40!
I also don't see him leaving the Shack.

Interesting rumour - I love Horner, and he is a great domestique - but hes old, not alot of future in him. And I have a hard time seeing him leave Radioshack

I agree, he would have been a very good signing 5 years ago, but not now. |

How long is riders like Szmyd and Kiriyenka under contract?
Those 2 would be a huge asset to the team!

Kiriyenka might be availablie since Caisse d´Epagne doesn't have a sponsor (yet)
He seems like a rider that can do a little of everything. Might be good as a helper and as a captain in smaller stage races. |

Kiriyenka has impressed me this Tour....
Szymd actually reminds me a lot of Larsson--Szymd was a very solid TT rider, though he's become somewhat inconsistent lately in that discipline has he has started to work on his climbing skills (which are also inconsistent). So I think he's an interesting signing, but I'm not sure "which" Szymd we'd get.
