....And in other late-breaking news Lance Armstrong has won his sixth Tour de
France! Sorry Blair, but that's not news...it was announced on the Lance
Chronicles before this year's TdF even started.

Actually, it was US Postal that elected not to renew the
team contract when it expires. The team looked for a new
major sponsor and Discovery Channel made the offer they
accepted.

OOGLY team jersey, at least the preliminary one. Bleah.

I have to agree with you about that jersey that was shown...FUGLY...they
really need a better design and colors...aside from that they were pretty
good :-)

Us pros don't really care about team gear, we just wear
what they give us.

Swot I get for getting off my bike in 1992. I hear
Indurain won't ride this year's TdF, either.

Actually, it was US Postal that elected not to renew the
team contract when it expires.


Ah. I'd kinda considered that possibility when I saw
several people moving, but the changes weren't as drastic
as, say, the mass defection from Brioches La Boulangere
to whatever it is they obviously renamed the team to.

The team looked for a new
major sponsor and Discovery Channel made the offer they
accepted.

The Postal ones weren't all that pretty, neither.

I bought the '04 Brioches La Boulangere jersey instead, and
I kinda wish I had it in a hawaiian-shirt style as well,
because it's probably the nicest looking jersey I've seen
maybe ever.

Guess he kind of missed the press conference last June, and did not
see or understand the significance of the big 'Discovery' on the chest
of this year's USPS jersey's.

Wonder what all the folks who ride USPS team kits will do? Sell them
on EBay?
