For the real cyclist in this forum: What is your take on Astana for the upcoming 08 cycling season?
and does anyone know if Slipstream will be invited to the TdF?
On paper Astana looks like a beast again! With Johan at the helm, and the additions they’ve made in the past couple weeks, they should be too.
There are a few bits of Discovery that many would consider more important to pick up than a manager. Since they are getting most of those bits also (Alberto and co) that has got to help. (Nothing against Johan he is better than most, but doesn’t do the riding)
They, still have to fit in with the rest of the team, which has to get over the dramas of this year. A power house for sure, but weather they can knock off C.S.C. is yet to be seen. (Will be good to watch)
Slipstream has applied for “wildcard” status with the U.C.I. along with 19 other teams. If this is successful they will get a lot more chances to impress the A.S.O.
http://www.uci.ch/Modules/ENews/ENewsDetails.asp?id=NTM2OQ&MenuId=MTYxNw&BackLink=%2FTemplates%2FUCI%2FUCI5%2Flayout%2Easp%3FMenuID%3DMTYxNw
After putting a line through Discovery and Unibet there are only 18 U.C.I protour teams for the T.D.F. in 2008, which means three “wildcards”. Who knows what the A.S.O. are thinking? So wait until late May and find out.
Usually it is teams with big performances, big names or from countries that the tour visits that get the wildcards. Nobody had Barloworld picked this year. Maybe the GBR. after their name helped, (South African team based in U.K). Perhaps it might help Slipstream’s chances if it moves base to France.
Slipstream has probably the best chance of any U.S team getting into the T.D.F next year. Realistically it is still quite a long shot.
Personally I don’t care where the teams are from as long as the best riders are there. Many teams are based in different countries and “buy” riders from anywhere the world anyway.
Hopefully the competition will be on the road next year not the tents.
Do we have any “FAKE” cyclists in this forum that answer your Questions?
