John Lelangue Quotations

But we'll be sending a competitive team to the Giro.

I feel very calm, very untroubled by all of this.

We'll make our own review and compare his blood levels against other tests conducted throughout the season. Our internal tests revealed his blood counts were above his limits allowed in his contract. He's not fired for now, but he's been told to take a rest until we can conduct our review.

We are convinced that a pro can give his best when he's competing in races that appeal to him.

We could very easily have said that Gonzalez had a physical problem and that he couldn't take the start in the morning. But for the sake of transparence, we decided to make this information public.

Floyd has had a great start to the season so it's better that he has a more relaxed approach to the Tour.

Floyd has informed me that in spite of various offers from other teams he would like to stay with us. Naturally, that's a great compliment for us and motivation at the same time.

It's great that in spite of offers from other top teams Steve has decided in favour of us.

The goal at the beginning of the season was to be one of the top five teams. That there is only one team that is better than us in the final tally is much more than we could have hoped for.

We want to form one unit for the future. That means we're striving to have a mix of already successful riders and young talents hungry for success. We're getting very close to that goal with the team that we've assembled up till today.

I can confirm that Santos is no longer a part of the team. We sent him a fax to confirm this.

Because it is still open at the moment who will be our main sponsor, we wanted to give the pros a clear signal that we didn't want to stand in the way of their accepting a multi-year offer from another team.
