Some rumours say that Slipstream are in talks with a new main sponsor, making them capable of signing better riders. According to the rumours, they are in contact with Zabriskie, Millar, Maaskant (the leading rider of the Continental team) and several French riders - they want to be invited to the TdF in 2008. |

I hope theyre not true. I for one want to see riders such as those 3 in the ProTour, not in the continental tour.

Whats all this about Cavendish and the green jersey?......he has won a few races, but this is le Tour, not Catalunya or some other race like that
Cav won't win the green, no Englishman in his right mind can think that he is a candidate,
as i've said earlier the T-MO chief will pull him out before the Alps/Pyrenees anyway, all Cav can go for is stage wins |

Slipstream wants to become a PT-team, but the first year (= 2008) they want to focus on building up the team. After that, they will try to become PT-material |

Oh, and by the way: Zabriskie has just confirmed that he has been contacted by Slipstream, and that he's seriously considering their offer. |

sorry to again press the "doping" key, but...
reading on cyclingnews that the meeting between the teams didn't go so well, with a few representatives leaving midway through, this line especially caught me:
Hans-Michael Holczer, Gerolsteiner Manager:
"a Spanish representative said 'we only take the medicine like other sports person, that is not doping', I got up and left."
"Holczer cited recent UCI numbers that showed that especially riders from Spain, Portugal and Italy had alarming blood profiles as the centre of the controversy"
wow...what an enormous surprise....not....

yes, I have that feeling too. the guy that I mentioned yesterday as 100% doped no doubt about it (I'm still not naming names in public) was fortunately not interviewed now...otherwise I might have smacked the TV.
bah...I've slept too little. been up since five
anyway, the more I look at the course for this tour, the less I like it. so much contrast to the Vuelta, where I could write pages on it. the Vuelta's parcours is just SO well designed!! I'm much more looking forward to the Vuelta than the Tour, actually. weird

I don't mean the stages one by one. I mean how they all mesh together. I think the Vuelta's parcours will throw up a number of surprises. but let's leave the Vuelta. I'll give my (loooong) thoughts on it once the tour is finished.
the tour is....well...traditional...I was expecting something a little different for a change.
