TdF, any other `teams'?
First year watching this wonderful event and a burning question: is
Discovery the only team? I mean I see a lot of riders wearing similar kit but they don't seem to be working for each other in the same way that the Disco boys are working for Lance. What hope does Ulli have with Kloden and Vino doing their own thing? -- Cheers | ~~ __@ Euan | ~~ _-\, Melbourne, Australia | ~ (*)/ (*) |

“All for one, & every man for himself!” The hills are a hard place to ask for a big effort from your team Disco boys are well drilled/skilled & seem to lay down their las banana for the tall texan -- Marx SS |

Yeah - it seems that there is no ambiguity at all with the Disco team :
we are riding for Lance, nothing else matters... Whereas with, say, T-mobile - they seem to be hdging their bets a bit. Three GC possibles, with Ullrich as the most likely. And so Vino, and occasionaly Kloden, muck about and do their own thing. Contrast that with Salvodelli in Disco - this year's Giro winner who has fully taken on the role of Lance's helper...

This reminds me of a discussion we were having the other day about wha you could do if you were on serious CEO money, say 1 million plus year. I'd be paying a development squad of young riders to be my trai whenever I rode -- PiledHigher |
