Matt is changing teams (to Cofidis) for next year ... Could be he's already
returned his Trek to USPS and has received his new bike from Cofidis, but
still has to race in USPS colors until 1 January.

That would explain the big "Trek" logo still on his shoulders!

That's unfortunate for Trek. Lance Armstrong is the main reason why Trek is
such a popular brand among recreational riders. W/out Lance they will lose
a big share of the business.

LANCE is a part owner of Trek.

As trolls go, this one needs work.

Dumbass,

It is in the endorsement contract. Instead of money LANCE took
a stake in the company. Details of stuff like that are not
typically made public.

My guess is that it has worked out well for both parties.

Ain't nobody pullin' a fish hook out of my lip.

Lance was given a token piece of the company, much as the employees get, a
few years ago. Trust me, Lance is very well paid, in cash.

What good is that? Everyone wants THE bike that Lance rides, not a bike
from a company that's partly owned by Lance.

I wonder if Lance is still an employee of Oakley.*


* Lance was made an employee of Oakley to get health insurance coverage
during his cancer treatment.
