Minaar and Lapierre is new for me. Rumors are flying that Blenkinsop and Camelini will ride for lapierre....http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http://www.velovert.com/Information_VTT/2186/Team-DH--Lapierre-repart-a-zero&sl=fr&tl=en
Check that one out, now I heard a rumour a good while ago that BOS really wanted Minnaar...like really wanted him and where willing to stump up the cash to get him too, the other part of that rumour is that because of the Vouilloz/Lapierre/BOS connection well you can fisure it out, BOS/Lapierre/Minnaar was very possible. Now putting Blinky in there would be a pretty succesful/strange mix, the French management at Lapierre, is well, very French. Blenkinsop/Minnaar/Frogs?
Silly season it is!
