He gave all for Klöden at l'Alpe d'Huez, I made the picture below. About 50 meters after the picture was taken he almost ride in the crowd, he was empty, completly empty. No wonder Klöden wants to stay with Kessler...

You make it sound like they are lovers and you are jealous. 😎

I hope my girlfriend didn't read that😄

Andreas Klöden will marrie his girlfriend Bettina (they live together since 9 years and have 2 kids) and he reacted on the indirect allegations of T-Mobbing:

On his website Andreas writes that he keeps his Swiss license and will therefore have the same controls as he has had this year. He also writes that he had 2 off-season doping controls during the South African trainigscamp (by doing that he confirmed earlier statements of Jan Ullrich)

TM tried to get Jens Voigt but CSC won't release Voigt out of his contract:

Just had a chance to look at the new TMO team for 2007

In: Barry, Cavendish, Ciolek, Eisel, Grabsch, Hammond, Knaven, Alex Mercrx, Olson, Pil and Pinotti.

Staying: Baumann, Bernucci, Scott Davis, Gerdemann, Honchar, Greipel, Guerini, Kirchen, Klier, Kroff, Rabon, Rogers, Schreck, Sinkewitz and Ziegler.

Out:
Marcus Burghardt - One of the up and coming German riders, I really rate him. Any ideas where is going and I really surprised they let him go.
Bas Giling - never really given a chance will do well I am sure.
Ivanov - Join Vino?
Kessler - already with Vino!
Kloden - as above
Kohl - the waterboys
Ludewig - ?
Mazzoleni - ?
Nardello - ?
Pollack - ?
Schmitz - ?
Sevilla - ?
Ulle - ?
Wesemann - ?

I am also surprised Korff is still in the team for 2007 being Ullrich's best mate.

Aldag's major task was to assemble the team of riders - not an easy one under the circumstances. "Fifty percent of our discussion time was about doping controls. Everyone who signed a contract knows that legal steps will be taken if he proves to have deceived us. If a rider hurts our image, why shouldn't he pay for that damage? They must be willing to accept responsibility for their actions."

I think the is a very good step to take.
