Recent bike TDF news

Seems that Thor Hushovd is going to concentrate on the Tour De France this year. He won the green jersey (sprinters jersey) in 2005. He also wants to win some stages. Currently Hushovd has been first in five stages. Since the Credit Agricole rider will be training for the TDF he has decided not to race in the Giro d'Italia this year. GO THOR maybe have some lutefisk and lefsa to fuel that big engine for the TDF!

Good Ol'Micheal Boogerd "the Boogie Man" or Mr Teeth will remain associated with the Robobank team. Robobank will have him doing promotions for the bank and at some capacity with the race team. They have not decided what that will be yet as it is still being determined. Sounds like he will go through some training and they will see where he fits in with the teams needs. In other Robobank news it seems that Denny Menchov will be the go to guy. He is setting his sights on the TDF. The Russian seems to be always up there trying to battle a stage win but the Micheal Rassmuson era changed that for Mr Menchov. Now it is time for us to see what Menchov can do.
