Gerolsteiner in Disarray

I think that was their B squad.

The crash this weekend was bad luck.

Watching a recap on Vs. yesterday I saw two G dudes layed out pretty good after cashing. One hit a light pole on a decent and crushed himself. Looked rather painful.

Ooohhhh!!! I saw that one! That poor [censored]. he was in the lead group when it happened too. I don't remember the rider's name but I hope he's alright.

Maybe not in disarray.. but certainly don't have luck on their side right now.

Gerolsteiner's Andrea Moletta broke his femur after crashing on the descent of the Cipressa in Milan-San Remo. The Italian had been in a breakaway with Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) and Yaroslav Popovych (Discovery), but overcooked it on the wet, slippery roads and hit a lamp post. His season could well be over as a result.

Gerolsteiner had more bad luck earlier in the race when David Kopp crashed. The German broke his nose and bruised his face.

FROM CYCLINGNEWS.COM:

Andrea Moletta had probably the most spectacular crash of the early season, slamming into a lamp post and stone wall during Milano-Sanremo. He came out of it with a broken right thigh, with doctors warning before the operation that they couldn't say when he might return to racing.

Moletta had a metal plate put in to his thigh on Tuesday, and it went well, Gerolsteiner spokesman Jörg Grünefeld told Cyclingnews. "The doctors are quite satisfied with the operation. They said if his recovery will go on at its best, Andrea may get out of the hospital in two or three days."

"They are also optimistic that Andrea can do some races in the late season," he continued. "The Vuelta probably would be too hard for him, but hopefully any other race in September or October could see Andrea at the start."

"Christian Henn (Sports Director) said that it would be perfect for him if he could still do some races this year," Grünefeld concluded. "Then the start in the 2008 season would surely come easier for him."

A horrendous lack of support for Rebellin at Paris-Nice.

YOu're not trying to deflect the attention from Discovery (who, incidentally are in dissaray) are you?
