for that Astana has to disappear. which is likely not happenning any time soon.
however, Bouyges are rumoured to be close to losing their licence |

Well Bouygues certainly dont deserve it.
I hope they dont have new ProTour teams next year as ASO will just go mental again, cause they only want something like 16.

actually, they want to decide themselves who goes to all the races. that's the whole problem. |

Axel Merkx said that he was considering working on the staff of a "certain American"team. Phill Ligget said that Hincapie might make the move to Slipstream but i think that may just be a rumor. That would be cool though  |

I thought big George goes to T-Mobile... now I'm confused.
Anyway Hincapie is a great benefit to any team he is in.  |

If Millar is going to Slipstream, I hope lots of other big names go too. Hincapie would be good, and itd be great if Wiggins went there too.

I sont want Slipstream overrun with a billion big names. I want the team to have a few very good, very experienced professionals that can teach the young riders on the team a lot. That is what Vaughters set out to do. To build a team from scratch and take it to the TdF. SOOO 2 or 3 riders like HIncapie and Millar and the Z man is good. |

Yeh, Imagine a TTT with Hincapie, Millar, Zabriskie and Wiggins though? Pretty hard to beat i wouldve thought.

at the TTT at Eindhoven, Disco had Hincapie, Popo, etc......they also had Fuyu Li whose only job was to hang on at the back for as long as he could and not take any relays.
he was at the height of his form.
he held on for 7 of the 48km..... |

in this case we can definitely say that Fuyu Li is not a doped rider |

Nah, he probably had to dope to even manage 7km.

Millar, Zabriskie and Vandevelde have been confirmed by Jonathan Vaughters as Slipstream riders for next year.

I haven't seen it metioned in this topic, but I believe quite some time back, Ballan signed for Ag2r |

Yep, Blows my mind
Don't see the point in it. Was on cyclingnews i read it. And if you google "Ballan Ag2r" quite some news about it comes up
Edit: I dont' want to make it official though, make up your own mind about it, as it seems a rather strange move for him

Vandevelde has signed for Slipstream today. Thereby he follows Dave Zabriskie, just like he always does |
