Actually Zabel best go to Ergomo as Ergomo is german.
(Im not big fans of Boonen or Zabel at the moment after the Stage 2 crash wiped out Cav)

i liked Boonen in his U.S Postel days when he was working for Hincapie and them, he was great, he had an awesome work ethic, but now he is team leader at QSI all he does is make his teamates work their arses off then mess up the sprint
i do like Zabel though

Boonen is a good classics rider but not as good a sprinter as he is made to be.
I hope that Pereiro and Karpets leave caisse, both could do well at le tour (top 5) if they wouldnt have to work for valverde |

well well....looks like Dave's evolution is going to decay a bit. shame for him. he really had potential.
good for Slipstream though 
I dont think Zabriskie is going to decay. The traning program at slipstream is tough (Steve Cozza can Attest to that)
Slipstream is deffinitlyily on the rise. They sarted out as TIAA-Cref building a team of young US riders. It is going to take tme to get to the protour (2-3 years) but the progress they have made is huge. They had a guy in the top 20 (i think) at the Volta Catalunya (Not bad). Slipstream spends a lot of time and money monitorng Watt out put by riders. Allen Lim is the director of that. It works. The riders buiild up that ability to push out watts and are able to track thier progress. It certainly helps the rider morale when they know that they can peddle just as powerfully as the superstars.
Plus they have Jonthan Vaughters. What more need i say. |

Sporting: They are currently negotiating with several French riders (Voeckler, for example), and that might result in them getting invited to TdF next year. According to the rumours, Slipstream has held several meeting with the TdF directors. |

Sipstream is going to the TdF next year because they are 100% clean. and 100% awesome. |
