Some funny business going on with Wiggins this year, it's a shame he hasn't got the same setup with Leinders and Yates behind him which worked so well last year. Maybe swimming coaches like Kerrison aren't so good with the downhills after all?drubie wrote:I can understand a chest infection would affect your climbing, but descending?

I have heard Goss is sick which is a pity as here really needs a win to boost his confidence.ozdavo wrote:Any ideas what's going on with Goss? Second sprint stage in a row where he finished minutes down and left Brett Lancaster to anchor the sprint.

The problem will be getting around Cav. Holly crap is he on fire at the moment.

Must say both OGE and Goss desperately need a win IMO. They put all their eggs in the sprint basket. Dangerous game vs Cavendish

From what they have said they are going to continue to focus in the classics (both early and late) seasons and stage wins.dalai47 wrote:But are they currently looking to win the tour or stages? Team currently doesn't have a rider in the roster who can be a GC rider now. In a few years some may have developed enough to step up into the role?
To get the depth needed to make up even one team capable of battling at a grad tour would take alot of resources that I just dont think are available at the moment.

They have a quality roster. Cobo winning in Spain and a fair share of other results.MarkG wrote:Cobo, Dowsett, Sastre etc.. that's not a mediocre team. Budget and team quality are not mutually exclusive...
But Sastre retired in 2011

Moviestar is ProTour or top tier like Sky, BMC etcsinglespeedscott wrote:I have been under the assumption that they are only a pro continental team that has relied on their UCI points to get invitations to all the major events.
