Strange comment. Many bikes today look similar, the new Addict and the Aethos definitely don't. (eg dropped versus traditional seatstays).

lucky me
i transferred my garmin riders out last night!
Arse. Already had Talansky and brought in Dan Martin last night. Oh well, given my crap Tour Med so far, 20 penalty points isn't going to make much difference
Bit the bullet and made 4 penalty transfers.
Figured with -20 points today was a write off anyway so what's another 20 point penalty? Got my team exactly how I want it for the rest of the race now.
at twitter both thomas dekker and talansky say they wont start the whole team is flying back today
looks like i might even be lucky cuasse dan martin was not feeling well and was dounbting if he would start anyway
this is the most up to date i can find
http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/13902/Garmin-Sharp-bikes-stolen-before...
Also, is it properly official they're dropping out?
I haven't seen an official article per say, but based on reports id say im gonna believe they wont start, but im gonna wait another half hour before making any penalty transfers
I have Talansky and Navardauskas but TERatcliffe is right, its the risk you take making transfers early, people drop out late, its annoying but that's the way it goes sometimes.
I'll be making penalty transfers, at least they 10 pts each this year and not 20.
Take 10 points or ride it out, im not sure on this one
Me either, Roche or Ten Dam in
ok bad luck then
i agree but its a bummer for me could cost me my first spot
most others don't have dan martin
Again luck of the draw, you can take the 10 point penalty and still make a transfer, which is what im considering
I have Garmin riders, but its a no for extra transfers, its called tough luck im afraid, its no different to a rider getting injured etc. those that haven't picked Garmin riders should not be disadvantaged by us being unfortunate
