I'll belive he won't ride when I see it. You know how some of these pro's are.

Levi kicks ass. I think it will be interesting to see what Team Disco does when Lance is gone.

Do they promote Popovych to be the man, or do they go after Levi to be at the front?

[Clandestino]

On OLN today they said that Vinokourov was tired of T-Mobiles bullshit and wanted to come to Discovery. Kloden and Ullrich totally fucked Vino over today. It was bullshit. If I were Vino I would have got off my bike and not Ullrich the fuck out..

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah that was pretty damn weird what Jan did to his fellow teammate Vino today.

I could see him going over to Disco. Wouldn't it be cool if he said screw it, donned a Disco jersey tomorrow, and started riding as a member of Disco?

What did Ullrich do to piss Vino off?

[Clandestino]

vino had just made it back it to the group where ullrich, kloden, lance and basso were... then vino took off and left the group behind. instead of making the others in the group like basso and lance be forced to chase him down, kloden and ullrich(his supposed teammates) led the attack to bring back vino.

[usckk]

Is Lance's team this year the weakest of all the years? Again, Lance was isolated and had to ride without his teammates. Team T-mobile lead a charge and got Lance alone.

[Clandestino]

they are supposedly the strongest team(which was evident in the team time trial, fastest ever team time trial), but they have been dropped twice.. today's dropping was the result of a nice and sudden attack by the 3 t-mobilers... they were caught off-guard, luckily lance is one bad dude... also, the others have learned if you let armstrong's squad dictate they will and then you are fucked...
