    I've got the VeloNews official guide, and only seven teams are profiled in the section titled, "The
    22 Teams of the Tour de France." How's your copy?

    How about the better question. How many of these 22 teams deserve to be there. Even CCC polsat is stronger than jean-delatour

    Who is CCC polsat ? are they a polish team? 🙂

    Jean-delatour might be a [censored] team in europe, but I wonder how they compare to the teams who are based in and race in the USA?

    cheers

    Saturn could easily be in the tour, if you use Delatour as a comparison.

    Maybe next year the can register as Le Saturn and fool Leblanc into giving them a wild card.

    Hey it is not any stupider than not letting Cipo into the TdF

    It's a different world. It's like comparing Scandinavian "pro" hockey to the NHL: all the really
    good Scandinavians play in the NHL.

    Similarly, the standard of racing is higher in Europe. Pro-grade Americans go to Europe to ride, be
    they Lance or new hotshoes making their rep in Belgium.
