I hope US Postal continues with Tyler Hamilton instead of disbanding.

Tyler is 8 months older than Lance.

Oh yeah, and your legs peak at 30

And Tyler is not going to leave CSC, he fits in there and would not fit back into Postal even
without Lance.

I predict Postal will pull their name if Lance retires this year and there is a good chance they
will pull their money even if Lance does not retire. I hope another US company will pick up the
slack, some one like Ford or UPS, companies with big EU sales that could really benefit from name
recognition in the EU. Plus a UPS take over of a USPS team would be very cool. Brown uniforms would
look pretty unique from all the reds and blues.

You have to admit, in a cosmic, patriotic sort of way, isn't it great that all this success by an
American for an American team was while riding for _United States_ Postal Service, wearing blue (and
red and white)...and on an American bike, as opposed to Team McDonalds, or Team Walmart or
whatever....

~shudder~

I would take up golf if either of these teams sponsored a bicycle team in

mean 'W'. Can you imagine a team with Ronald McD or the fricking smiley faced POS on a jersey?

Holy merde!

There's also:

Team Starbucks

for mass marketism. Or:

Team Worldcom Team Enron

for fraud. Or:

Team Halliburton

for corruption. Or:

Team Lockheed-Martin Team Northrup-Grumman

for blatant military domination.

How about:

Team Mustang Ranch

since the government now owns a bordello?

<bad pun>

The team wouldn't do so well since they would always be crashing...

Stranger things have happened. Remember that once upon a time 7-Eleven sponsored a team. And it's
not like the European teams are all sponsored by charity groups.

And here I was thinking it'd be cool if the US Army sponsored a major American cycling team. I guess
they already have some sort of elite athlete program, but they're into advertising.

I love the slogan from a B'n'B cartoon, something like:

Then the American team would be known as the turds. No thanks.
