Yeah, sad news for Disco and for cycling.

I saw the news this morning and it made me sad. I can't believe Georgie is going to T-Mobile.

I've always liked T-mobile, but it will be strange not having an American company represented, be it US Postal, or Motorola - but we've a year to see what happens - Perhaps a pharmaceutical company can pick up a sponsorship.

Slipstream might get a wildcard spot. They've acquired some big names since the TdF wraped up.

They have a cool argyle kit!

ETA: Here is an article from this afternoon's teleconference where Tailwind explained their decision in greater detail. Sounds like they're tired of dealing with the political BS that seems to be gripping the sport right now.

There's rumors flying around in the cycling community of Hewlett Packard picking up with new directors.

Yeah, wierd to not have an American team. US Postal, Discovery, something. Hopefully someone will step up.
