Well.....lets see, there are some obvious choices, but for one reason or another Sky wouldn t or maybe couldn t attract. My choice if he s still got the legs would be Stuey.

Well he's said he's leaving Saxo Bank so let's see if it happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think "Stuey" is already commited to the Schleck's new set up.

Look, here's something that may be obvious to old hands. When you start a first season, and come in with all the hype, new expensive buses, Jags, all the toys, stick up silly screens around the riders, act the big I-am, you don't make many friends in the peloton. NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE YOU NEED FRIENDS IN THE PELOTON. Then when you need a bit of help it can be arranged in return for favours or a consideration. If you brass off people, then they won't deal or work with you. That's what has happened, and just maybe a bit of humble pie eating plus some strong performances and sensible tactics early next season will steady things a bit. If not, I can see a contract in serious danger, because a sponsor wants a return and visibility for the right reasons, not the wrong ones, and Murdoch's lot are not known for being merciful or accepting non-delivery of targets.

I think we all understand that, oldroadman - there's no need to shout. It's not the case that because there are some people who are interested in a largely 'British' team at the top level that all support 'Sky' or Murdoch.
