Who the F is this guy? I may be wrong as I am still new to following professional cycling, but this stinks of politics to me. I can just hear the Kazakhstanian (sp?) backers saying: "Hey, this is the best we've got, you have to have him on your team. Take it or GTFO."
Thoughts? Opinions?
PS: Just my two cents, I think Astana has a really good chance to win TdF.
