just 2 weeks to the start date. Nil interest so far from the bike fans !

[murf]

You'll have plenty of interest.. but much nearer the time!

[theo29]

now just 7 days away. Time for the bikers to awake.... or is it still too early ?

[theo29]

if I go first it just might encourage some action murf ! My 6 are BORA. QUICK-STEP. LOTTO JUMBO. MOVISTAR. SKY and COFIDIS.

[paisleypark]

ASTANA, LOTTO-SOUD, MOVISTAR, ORICA QUICK-STEP, SKY, and Confidas

[murf]

Gonna wait and see if Astana pick up any injuries against Celtic tomorrow night.

[theo29]

I think they will be hard pressed to cycle from Glasgow to the 'depart' in such a short time but you are such an 'ace' selector that anything is possible ! Witness your Championship form.

[theo29]

it starts tomorrow with virtually NIL FISO interest. murf has lost his Astana group in Glasgow to concentrate on the Championship. Where are all the bike brigade ?

[theo29]

total FISO flop, only Paisley Park responded and murf got lost in Glasgow. Please remove the post Mr Chief Mod.

[murf]
