Some teams just don't seem to be cut out to be multicutural. LS seems to be one of those teams. Of course, Manolo Saiz probably likes Vino because of his style. Examples of riders on teams they didn't/don't fit in: Salvodelli at Telekom, Sevilla likewise. How about Beloki on that French baker boy team? For that matter, Boonen on Postal. Having said that, what team would you think he would fit in and find some honest support? |

As long as they define Heras as the captain for the Vuelta and Vino the leader for the Tour, I don't see a problem. -- Robb McLeod ) A bus station is where a bus stops.

Although LS doesn't appear to be multi cultural, remember that it is
pretty much the same gang as at ONCE... ONCE had a lot of foreign riders who seemed to fit in well and who liked the team. Perhaps that can come around again. Don't forget Alan Davis is on the team, Neil Stephens is involved in the running of it, rumor has it that some Japanese company may come on as co-sponsor... and I hear they are hoping to sign many other foreign riders... there's no reason why he shouldn't fit in. However.. in what team will Vino really get support.. does his style of racing need support? Or is he more suited to riding for and by himself...? |

They can use each rider as their leader for different races. Also, Vino may never win the Tour, but he can do well in the one-week stage races that are an important part of the Spanish racing calendar. |
