And Christina Watches have underlined that they still are a team, who prefers old riders and/or (former?) dopers with the signing of:
 Fortunato Baliani (39)
Enrico Rossi (31), convicted in 2010
Mattia Gavazzi (30), convicted in 2010
I don't think I have seen it mentioned here that they signed Jonathan Bellis (25) and Jake Tanner (22) a couple of days ago.
So much for changing strategy to focusing on Danish talents 
They really are just a collection I random riders who just happen to wear the same jersey in a race
Hells 500 Crew and 6 x Everester
Don Rd Launching Place
Melbourne Hill Rd Warrandyte
Colby Drive Belgrave South
William Rd The Patch

I've fully embraced the hilarity. I wish he'd do the Tour so he could drop Froome in the mountains. It would be f***ing hilarious.

Instead of Froome, it will be Porte. Still hilarious. |

Great. Porte, Froome, Horner. There won't be a single GT mountain stage I can watch without heavy stomach aches.
And people are surprised when someone prefers to watch sprint stages.

I'm torn about Lampre
on one side you have Horner, on the other Rui Costa.
do I like the one better then I hate the other? 
edit: no don't think so

Well one is a convicted doper, one isn't. It should be that hard to make a decision about Lampre considering they also had Scarponi

Funnily enough the convicted doper doesn't seem to be the most chemical of the two. |

Also just noticed this (and keep in mind that Jose is a commentator and so is in a good position to know this sort of stuff):
No offense to Jose who's doing a good job, but I don't think she's ever 'revealed' something. More of a news collector than a news creator. |

I see Horner doing absolutely nothing this year and at some stage a mystery "injury" will end his season or will be used to explain why he bombed, if he has a good season then well it will be akin to a freak show 
Somewhat unlikely, I guess, since most of his contract is based on bonuses. He has every incentive to dope to the gills. |

Rui Costa - 2010

It was proven to be a case of food contamination though, so I don't know if he should be considered a real doper.

By UCI rules, Costa should have been suspended. A rider, and only the rider, is responsible for his nutrition

He was. he just didn't get the maximum ban
'It's still your responsibility' was the wording that the portuguese authorities used at the time

I always taught Jose was a man. This sounds awkward now.
