And from what I've heard from Popo, he will probably like having the pressure lifted off him. I mean, it's a perfect arrangement in some ways. But it's still freakin' bizarre, because he was just starting to figure out how to compete effectively under Godefroot. And now he's going to Bruyneel? -Sonarrat. |

It might be that he thinks that he'd be more effectively used on a Bruyneel team. -- tanx, Howard "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."

Or is he supposed to be lieutenant for Popovich? Based on the ride that won him the Giro, I think Savoldelli certainly has strength and talent. He seemed to have a good tactical sense, too. His last two seasons sure haven't shown it, though. Injury after injury for the guy makes me wonder if he's kind of fragile. I hope not, as it'd be nice to see him do well again. -- tanx, Howard "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind." Albert Einstein remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |

And now he's going to Bruyneel? Since Tyler left, USPS-BF/Disco Channel hasn't had anybody who can crash with the same frequency and panache. Savoldelli is that man. Top level riders shouldn't really have to figure out how to compete effectively under a DS or team manager. The DS is supposed to figure out how to use them effectively. Maybe that's why he's leaving the Godefroot storage-closet. |

But it's still freakin' bizarre, because he was just starting to figure out how to compete effectively under Godefroot. And now he's going to Bruyneel? Huh? There are no "great differences" in the sense that he needs to "suss it out". Anyone that can do well at T-Mobile is a self motivated stud. Going to Bruyneel's team can only help to have that kind of superior communication. Bruyneel is excellent at setting correct expectations from the riders to the fans and sponsors. That is only a slice of what will be better for any rider (that does not have conflicts with a certain Texan) that transfers to Bruyneel's team. I can't see why anyone would remain loyal to that T-Mobile (except for guys like Vino that only know of even worse teams) when they have a chance to ride for one of the best. If you want an example of "freakin' bizarre", try looking up worst moves of the century in which Ullrich returns to T-Mobile after turning down offers from teams such as CSC. It may be too late to salvage Ullrich's Tour dreams but anyway, T-Mobile knows how to get excellent team results buy hiring way too much talent and burning through the guys that tried to make the teams and get left home. Why would anyone be upset if they knew what to expect? Do you think a lot of those guys over in the T-Mobile salt mines might be a tad dissappointed) Evans, etc. I would not be surprised if Botero, Evans, The Falcon, and any others I am oberlooking at the moment have their best years as soon as he gets away. |
