  1. From cyclingnews:

    "We are in the process of signing five more riders, but we have already signed David Vittoria who is Oscar Sevilla's protégé in Spain," he said. With contracts not yet signed Morris was reluctant to divulge the names. "Two are Australians, one is Spanish another American and the last I can't say because if I told you his name, you would guess," he said.

    It also sounds like Sevilla and Landis would have a eurocentric racing schedule.

    FLandis to win the Vuelta next year, assuming Rock can get an invite as a Pro Continental team.

  2. Flandis is not really a surprise. But I do wonder who the 2 Australians are...

    got one Nathan O'Neill.

    As for the other... What sort of fit would Davis be, do you reckon?

    might sign ONeil Sutherland AND Davis.

    I think Davis will look to move to a team like Lampre. Italian team. Shorter than Rujano on ethics.

  5. One of the Australian's would have to be Alan Davis.

    The American Floyd Landis as we know.

    Who would be the other Australian and the other spanish rider?
    If they are going down the lines of who has been caught or implicated in OP, then what about Jaksch or Sinkewitz as the other one?

    Sounds crazy, but maybe the last name that he can't say could be Vino?

    😕 If you told us his name, there wouldn't be any guessing to do, would there?

    The UCI would challenge Vino's suspension if he tried to return next year.

    Rock is continuing an odd strategy if they want to get race invites in europe. FLandis is understandable, but also Davis? Who else is in doping limbo that they could hire?

    Meanwhile over at Qinghai Lake, Hamilton appears to have finally found a little form. He's up to 7th on G.C. and has been finishing with the leaders.

    Would Vino race for Rock Racing? Why not wait out the suspension and come back as Astana captain again?

    I assume he misspoke and what he meant was, 'if I told you his nationality you'd guess'. Hence, the nationality of the rider must be pretty unique in cycling. This would exclude any Italian, French, Spanish, etc...

    Vino=Kazakh, but there are a few more of those, so I don't really now.

  11. I was really hoping Floyd would go to Garmin, seeing as him and jonathon are good friends.

    I agree that that interview doesn't really point to floyd...and is ambiguous...

    There is no way FLandis could go to Garmin. He would need to pull a Millar, confess, and embrace that old time Slipstream religion.

    Could it be Kash? Didn't he only get a one year ban?

    Yeah, Floyd confessing would be like Bush saying it was a mistake to invade Iraq. Neither probably confesses to themselves, much less the public.

  15. Allan Davis is a good guess.

    I think the one that he can't say the nationality is Rasmussen. I doubt that Ball knows of any other Danish riders.

    If true, then Rock Racing = dopers' paradise.

    Huh??? I'm so confused . . . I thought they were taking the high road? 😕 <sarcasm off>

    Interesting, I would expect that someone else would be willing to pick him up when his ban expires.

    Liquigas comes to mind...

    I was just speculating given the Ball comment about nationality being a give away. Kazakh = Vino but who else?
