Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

yeah, T-Mobile with Ullrich, Vino, Zabel, and Klöden just dominated the Tour. Really boring.

Like Armstrong did?

T-mobile never had the managment to get it's riders to work together. Disco always had Lance to make everyone work for him.... He stills owns a part of the team... so they will listen when he says jump. T-mobiel was like a soap opera, you never knew who would betray who.

Yep...and top 5 might be a bit generous

btw - Mapei had the whole yankees thing going. The reality is, even with Basso, Leiphiemer, and Hincapie, Discovery is far from talent rich. The '05 Discovery team was deeper.

True, but one thing Mapei and Disco. both share is excellent trainers and doctors.

Actually, this looks interesting for both of them. Levi training against Ivan ought to make them both better.
