Well fuck. Contador is going to Trek apparently, so that's the end for Mollema's podium ambitions in the Tour de France as he'll probably have to do nothing but ride for Contador

It's Saturday....who gets it in his mind to have a major classic on Saturday 

 

And apart from that I'm too busy with the preparations for Rio so I forgot it, but I'll take a look, thanks

The slovak cycling "squad" Peter Sagan, Juraj Sagan, Erik Baška and Michael Kolář and the Pole Maciej Bodnar as well will officially race for the German team Bora-Hansgrohe since next year. Peter signed for 3 years and he had only one condition, If you want me, all 4 riders must come with me

 

Apparently Peter became the highest paid cyclist in the world with 6 millions Euro per year.  Yes we are speaking here about a slovak athlete ofc it´s nothing in comparison of 17 millions for CR7 or 14 millions for Ice Hockey NHL star Shea Webber but still impressive for a cyclist from a small country in central europe
