Uhhh... what about Slipstream presented by Chipolte?

A bit of a stretch at the moment (for them to be in the '08 TdF). They don't
have an automatic (sorta) entry via the Pro-Tour, and the wildcards tend to
get used up by the euro teams (especially, of course, the French). They're
sure not going to take the place of Barloworld... those guys did very well!

Well, if ASO does not settle with the UCI then the Pro-Tour won't be
a factor.

Wildcards for non-French teams happen based on spring results.
Slipstream would have to show the colors at a classic or two to
get in.

Nah,... they'll get in based on their super strong anti-doping stance.
