Andy and Frank have decided to ride for Astana in 2013.
They have a contract with Leopard untill 2014 but because they haven't been paid,it looks like they can get out of it.
If this happens...what will happen Alberto and Vinokourov?

That concoction will never work. Cofidis will buy Contador. He will feel right at home.

Vinokourov will ride his last tour next year and heard that Alberto was looking at Astana next year but guess that won't happen if Andy is there.

Then Vino is a nice domestique to have. I think Berto will extend with Saxo!

Also thought that Nibali is going to Astana.

Not sure what he was doing at the finish, how did he manage to accidently unclip just before their little sprint for 3rd started... maybe he didn't want to finish on the podium :whistling:
