2010 Tour de France invites finalized
Mar. 30, 2010
The invite list makes sense, but I'm disappointed Vacansoleil didn't
make the cut. Brice Feillu won a beautiful stage last year, and
his brother Romain was in yellow a couple years ago. Vacansoleil
is certainly a more worthy team, more capable of spectacle and
public support than, say, Omega Pharma-Lotto.
Andy Shleck falling behind in 2010
Mar. 23, 2010
Andy's now had this current knee injury for four months. This is not a good omen for his Tour chances.
Contador off to
better start than rivals
Mar. 15, 2010
Following wins in Algarve and Paris-Nice, none of his rivals have seen such success so far this year.
Samuel
Sánchez makes the Tour his sole goal of 2010
Nov. 4, 2009
His goal is to podium in 2010. It is realistic, considering his
palmarès.
Apart from the hard work ahead, his main concern may simply be
Euskaltel-Euskadi receiving an invitation, as the team suffered several
doping scandals in 2009.
Fränk
Schleck hopes to share podium with brother Andy
Nov. 2, 2009
Some say Andy will have to let go of Fränk to win the Tour, but I think
they're each better together. Sharing the podium is a realistic goal.
Andy should be stronger in 2010, and Fränk should be too, not suffering knee
injuries stemming from the 2009 Amstel Gold Race. (Unforseen
events/injuries notwithstanding.)
Cadel
Evans signs with BMC
Nov. 1, 2009
With Cadel Evans, Alesandro Ballan, and George Hincapie, BMC should
receive several wildcard invitations in 2010. On paper, BMC + Cadel is
more deserving of an invite to the Tour than was Silence-Lotto + Cadel.
It's normal that Team BMC should be present at the 2010 Tour.
2010

Oct. 14, 2009
Hear what some in the peloton are saying about the 2010 route.
Klöden
transfer to RadioShack confirmed
Oct. 3, 2009
Long speculated, Andreas Klöden is now confirmed to ride for RadioShack
in 2010.
Hushovd
to defend green jersey in 2010 Tour
Oct. 2, 2009
Hushovd identifies defending the green jersey in 2010 as his major goal of the
season.
