Michele Bartoli announces his retirement.

This gives Team CSC a bit of cash, so who will they spend it on?

Floyd Landis has been in the rumour market for a while. Igor Astarloa too.

He may have a contract clause that frees him if Phonak doesn't get a
place in the Pro Tour.

Ah, he does have that, yes:
