Scott doesn't give much money. mostly bikes.
But none of that is known just yet.

Sebastian Lang to retire at the end of the year at the age of 28, he says he is litteraly 'sick and fed up' with the world of cycling

Its was predictable that they would not continue sponsorship. I think that this team will disband, what does everyone else think? |

The structure wasnt the best was it. I remember talking to you about it something about the manager being surprised even though he should have known. |

well, Millar says he trusts Giannetti and that he's sure Giannetti wasn't involved. I still think Millar is very innocent.

I think it's been the same every year.
Just because there's doping in a team doesn't mean everyone in the team knows about it. There are teams where I go "clearly doped" that have riders who I think are clearly innocent.

I think that aside from 2-3 teams, things haven't changed the slightest bit.
A bit like Riis who every two years says "it wasn't clean last year but it is now". then two years later he says the same...then another two years the same...etc.

Indeed, what was their doping program like? I heard that it was very tough, or was that Liquigas cant remember.
On another not if i was Inxtausti d want to get away from that team right away. |

I still think Lang is disgusted at the team. I'm pretty sure they're being extremely vocal about doping in public, but doping in private.

I suppose its a pretty good cover, team saying that they test their riders loads and then the riders actually dope without being tested by their team out of competition.
That would be a sad reality but i dont think it would happen. Well i hope it doesnt. |

Some guy (he gave his name and the name of the company, but I didn't catch it), just e-mailed the eurosport commentators team saying the company he works for (portuguese company. again, I didn't understand the name) are in an advanced state of negotiations to sponsor the team currently known as Crédit Agricole. He says he can't say anything else apart from an official announcement that may come as early as next week.
If this is true (which is always a question mark), it'll be the first Portuguese ProTour team.

probably keep the french license but sign a couple of portuguese riders.
I'm not believing this until it's announced, if it ever is.
