That's some late transfers 
Actually, they were just 22 riders so maybe Martinelli realized they'd be running low of forces when the season was approaching its end.
About the Cipo-thing: that's just hilarious  |

In two week, The Monegasque cycling federation will announce the punishment for Michael Rasmussen - if any at all. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Cipo is the Gordie Howe of cycling

I bet Cipo will make one more go at being professional within the next two years, only to call it the end. This time for real.

About Cipo and San remo..he is grazy passionite about it, almost obsession..all you remeber how he told team manager ..lets fire all ex dopers and scour our hair and I get you San Remo ticket.
team manager probably asked..san remo what?
Also i remeber Zabel sarcastic note after 3rd stage win at the same year TdF..like If would have been italian has this year San Remo race winner..they probably has made my golden statue...but has german they dont are intrested.

Seems it's official now. He has stated in a press announcement that his "career ended in 2005"  |

If only the authorities had handled his samples according to protocol, this case would've been over before it startet. |

but they did. He's arguing they didn't. And when they prove they did, he'll start contesting the definition of the word "did"
Even though I'm pretty positive he's guilty, I still find it interesting that in that famous IM conversation between Andreu and Vaughters, Vaughters seems to throw some hints about Floyd being clean and being against Lance's doping habits. And that was way before he tested positive.
Of course those are just hints.

as far as I recollect they "just" talked about Landis being pissed at Lance and co. And they also hintet very much that Landis was part of the US Postal doping regime? There was some controversy when Landis left Lance. Lance got pissed and started to badmouth Landis?

Here's an extract from the conversation. it's the part I was referring to
FDREU: what abut GH climbing the mountains better than azevedo and the entire group
FDREU: explain that, classics to climber
Cyclevaughters: yeah, i could explain the whole way lance dupes everyone
Cyclevaughters: from how floyd described it, i know exactly the methos
FDREU: when did you talk with floyd
Cyclevaughters: i don't know - i want to trust George
Cyclevaughters: but the thing is on that team, you think it's normal
Cyclevaughters: or at least i did
FDREU: i guess. anything with blodd is not normal
Cyclevaughters: yeah, it's very complex how the avoid all the controls now, but it's not any new drug or anything, just the resources and planning to pull of a well devised plan
Cyclevaughters: it's why they all got dropped on stage 9 - no refill yet - then on the rest day - boom 800ml of packed cells
FDREU: they have it mastered. good point
Cyclevaughters: they draw the blood right after the dauphine
FDREU: how do they sneak it in, or keep it until needed
FDREU: i'm sure it's not with the truck in the frig
Cyclevaughters: motorcycle - refridgerated panniers
Cyclevaughters: on the rest day
Cyclevaughters: floyd has a photo of the thing
FDREU: crazy! it' just keep going to new levels
Cyclevaughters: yeah, it's complicated, but with enough money you can do it
FDREU: they have enough money. Floyd was so pissed at them this entire tour
Cyclevaughters: anyhow - i just feel sorry for floyd and some of the other guys
