Thanks. I didn't recognise the names from last year. Guess they didn't make an impact.toolonglegs wrote:Who are or where Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team, Saur - Sojasun and Team Europcar?...

This will help the likes of Cadel as Menchov was a contendor this year according to Andy?The Geox-TMC team is notably absent from the start list for both races. It includes 2008 Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre and podium contender Denis Menchov.

I think he's right. To podium again he really needs to focus on the TDF, all other racing as pretty much prep only. LA has shown the way there

Menchov could be still there though. Without Contador, he's got a good chance of winning the Tour this year by beating Andy in the TT and hanging on with him in the mountains. Saxo or Katusha could pick him up cheap.heay wrote:This will help the likes of Cadel as Menchov was a contendor this year according to Andy?

The TTT is not too long so hopefully the possible damage to Cadel is minimal.

I'm sure vacansoleil wasn't part of the tour last year, or i defenatly need new goggles...
They are a dutch team, and this is their first participation since its start in 20009. (this typo of the year is taken from this site)
They also have a site availible in english website
Interesting to see what they can do, good to see a second ducth pro team.

No I didn't,Andrew just asked who certain teams where...and I told him.I never said Saur-Sojasun was in the tour last year or even implied it.The only mistake I made was the Nationality of Saur -Sojasun.It is a French sponsor and a Dutch based team.damhooligan wrote:you implied ittoolonglegs wrote:Don't remember saying they were.I'm sure vacansoleil wasn't part of the tour last year, or i defenatly need new goggles...

I am not sure about the complete history of Vacansoleil (i admit the name sounds very french...)
But the company has its head office in Eindhoven,The Netherlands.
(my first thought is; it is a dutch company, but i can be wrong here...)
