No American team in the Tdf 2008?
That would be kind of a bummer.

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! --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "Carmine Clamenza" wrote in message ...

... They will take Astana's spot though. Not until they gain enough backing to bribe themselves a Protour membership. You don't think that Unibet and the like got their licenses from doing well at the races? |

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. Bob Schwartz |

I'd say doing well at an ASO-run classic would be particularly helpful to their cause. -- tanx, Howard Never take a tenant with a monkey. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |
