Cyclingnews is reporting that Lance Armstrong will ride
for the Discovery Channel next year.

...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.

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.

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

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.
