So far, it's only a rumour, right? Otherwise, post your source.

Yeh, Vaconsoleil got in automatically from being in the Top 15 of the UCI's mysterious criteria

Well i think Vacansoleil has a better team than Cofidis... but Geox? Well they will get a Wildcard...

Vancasoleil do definitely have a good team. With Ricco going for the Giro, you have guys like Leukemans, Marcato, Carrera and others aswell. |

Geox is basically a shit of a team, I can't see why is so surprising that they didn't get a license.
Also, the battle for a TdF spot will be interesting. And I hope the French teams win. |

With Cobo, Menchov, Sastre... and maybe Di Luca they have quite a strong squad. Also they don`t have financial problems if I followed the news right.
So they will probably be a surely wildcard contender for most races- |

Meh. They have a strong leader, Menchov. Then they have Sastre, who had a quite bad season this year. But yeah, he succeeded at dropping his team mate Tondo when he was fighting for a podium in the Vuelta. Then Cobo, who gave a new meaning to the expression awful season this year, and then Duarte, whose hability to perform in Europe is still unknown.
The rest, either young guys or decent to average equipiers. They are well with ProConti status. |

At the end of the day, Geox (As Footon) got a free ride into the big races this season, when their squad quality didnt really deserve it. So this year, the races they do get to ride, they will at least be there on 'merit' of having earnt/received a wildcard.

I rode with Kam Po once, he's awesome, also how old are Armstrong/Horner etc.
Furthermore those races are just about being in the right move and winning the sprint and as he's a track rider, I guess thats what he did

Never mind the fact that it is now mid/late November. Hardly the time to be in peak form for most

Im so dissapointed Geox haven't got a PT license, the strength in the team with Menchov, Sastre, Cobo and De La Fuente, hope they will be at the TDF, weakened field slightly without Menchov and Sastre will be dissapointing. Also did FDJ get a PT license.
