Stijn Devolder, January 2009: "I'm working very hard in the mountains for the Tour. My objective is top 3 And it's very possible"
Stijn Devolder, July 2009 after about ten stages of the Tour: "I didn't train especially for the Tour, so this isn't a disappointment for me. I never even aimed to do anything here"
Stijn Devolder, August 2009: "I'm ashamed of my performance in the Tour. The team supported me so much and I failed completely. The truth is I didn't prepare adequately"
From what I gather of Devolder's past interviews, this seems very in line with his character.

"ridiculous" is the word 
seriously now, "inconsistent" should do it

Devolder is not the only one, anyways. The same thing has happened with Cunego and Valverde, for example.

I dont see why he should, winning Ronde Vlaanderen beats maybe finishing in top 10 in Tour.

Bugger, i really liked the fact that Denmark had at least one team that wasnt Saxo Bank...
We've got several...
You are obviously forgetting that Capirnordic was/is (IMO) the second best team we had and the closest to competitor to Saxo Bank.
Nope, I'm not forgetting that. I'm just saying that we do have other Danish teams than Saxo Bank  |

Not so much a transfer, but team Caja Rural is going Continental next year and turning into a feeder team for Caisse. Mostly spanish riders will be on it, plus top prospect Michal Kwiatkowski
