AFAIR Sylwester Szmyd, like Nibali and Basso, has contract with Liquigas till 2011.
And no, he has never been good in TT  |

Liquigas won the TTT this year's Giro; 15th in the giro's Stage 16 ITT;
27th in 2009's Stage 10 ITT; In 2007, 26th in Romandies Stage 5 ITT and romandie's prologue was 25th; 16th in the Vuelta a Murcia's Stage 4 ITT; 29th in the 2006 ITT of Romandie's Stage 5; 9th in 2001's Tour de Pologne Stage 7b ITT
So he has some decent results in the ITT. Are they great? No. But they're a lot more solid than some of the guys...
He also has a lot of not so good results. So like I said, he's "inconsistent."
But it's moot if he's still under contract.

Martin Gregersen
It's been a rumour since the start of this year, but indeed, he still has a contract and I don't think that Riis will let him go, plus he seems happy here.

| BMC is a swiss team, so its only natural that there will be speculation about Cancellara will be going there. I im about 99% sure that Riis won´t let alle of his superstars go at the same time, so even if he would want to leave Riis wouldn't let him leave. |

With the Schlecks leaving, unless Riis pulls off signing a top rider and at this point Contadotr is the only one better than Andy, Fabian may be perfectly happy staying.
He would undoubtably be the only serious team leader. There should be plenty of money to give him a nice raise which he probably deserves. He could stop racing at the end of the tour and his season is already one other riders dream of. |

Am I missing something, that is still conjecture?
According to the media is anyone NOT leaving?
If your read the Football Gossip, 95% of the rumours are untrue, and a further 4% never materialise... Why are we so certain? Yes I know the Kim story. |

The cycling "silly season" is officially under way! LOL!
Spartacus to BMC? Wow, that'd be huge for them. But he does seem happy, as mentioned. Plus, even though BMC are Swiss bikes, it is an American team. I could be wrong, but him signing with an American team doesn't make any sense to me.
Rumors that Contador is coming to Saxo? I don't see it, but I'm no seer! While I'm sort of "on the fence" about Alberto (admire the talent, but not a huge fan either), he is all about himself. I don't see him fitting into Bjarne's team philosophy.

I think Kevin De Weert could be a good mountain helper.
He finished 20th of the 2009 Vuelta and 19th of this year's Tour |

I totally agree with your opservation about De Weert but we don't need another helper. What we need is a big star.

I can now reveal something i have knowned in 2 weeks now. As you probably did know is that Andy and Frank is going to the new lux team, but what you might didnt know is that Fabian and stuey will follow and that they allready have talked to kim and they have ann agreement!
( I wount say why i allready know this, but its 100% sure and yeah, i assume you will get it official maby on sunday i dont know.)
I myself is very optimistic about the new team devoloping and i hope the schleck brothers can create a awesome team that really can put Contador to the ground! |

Assuming you are right.
How much would they pay for fabian? He is under contract you know. If Riis lets him go for free that can only mean that we need the money for Contador. |

I dont know what price saxo bank will get. And all this talk about contador will join saxo bank, i wouldn't take it to serious. However you never know, i myself never think it will happen, dont see him fit in with riis values etc.
