yeah. Why wouldn't?
Just wondering. but that's cool you'll ride it.
Well done with Kirchen and EBH in Luxembourg, Eisel/Cav, and Hincapie/Rogers/Lövkvist/Gerdemann for the Dauphiné
(ouffff, it's hard to say well done for each race you win, there are so many Columbia wins  )

Dauphine Libere Stage 4
Wiggins isn't very fast on the short hill that we have today
But he beats, his team-mate, Mark Cavendish, the previous leader, with 24 seconds. He will be the leader for a very long time
Cadel Evans, the big favourite of the race, starts but his intermediate times are not so good
Menchov is the first rider that can beat Wiggins' time. Right after him Evans came with a good result, winning some time on the last part of the stage
Kloden finishes the race with a great time. He will be hard to beat today
Rogers is way faster than, his team-mate and the yellow yersey, George Hincapie at the checkpoints
Gerdemann is slower than Kloden
Lovkvist can't beat him either
Kloden has a fantastic time. Rogers is the closest to his time, 13 seconds behind
Hincapie doesn't make a great TT and looses the leader's jersey

Thanks. It will be interesting to see what can I do with Rogers against Levi, Kloden or Evans. Gerdemann isn't in a perfect shape so Rogers is the one that counts so far

Dauphine Libere Stage 5
The breakaway with no potentials good climbers
An perfect attack from Cunego. He will be first in the top of the climb
After him it's Joaquim Rodriguez
Then Di Luca
Di Luca is chased by the favourites group. No Columbia riders there
Right after them it's Rogers' group
Lovkvist and Gerdemann are still in the pack
While Hincapie almost lost the contact with the pack
The other favourites worked well togheter and caught Di Luca on the downhill
Cunego wins but his position in the GC was very poor, so he can't get the yellow jersey
Rodriques is caught in the last 1.5km and looses the second spot
After a good downhill Rogers managed to keep his jersey for 2 seconds

I was thinking to sign Arvesen for a year. He's perfect sprint, TT, flat, hills only that he is old that's why I want just a year

Kirchen, Valverde, Sastre, Dekker and a few more that I don't remember now

Sign him. I'm in 2009 with him, and no of his stats are down. He'll be a perfect helper in any terrain |
