  1. From cyclingnews.comnews, "UCI
    announce Division I teams:"

    "There are a few surprises on the 'pending' list, including the top team of 2003, Fassa Bortolo, and
    Lance Armstrong's US Postal Service presented by Berry Floor team. These teams have just over two
    weeks to qualify for registration in Division I, but it is believed that they will make the cut."

  2. Postal has members win the Tour and Vuelta, and aren't on the list yet????

    What is the world coming to ...........

    One quick question on this...what does it buy them? Div1 requires that they race all three GTs
    right? Perhaps if they default and go Div II on a technicality, they can get out of that requirement
    and just field teams for the races they wish. They have the top draw on their squad and any promoter
    would be likely to give them an at-large bid.

    I don't think my thoughts are the case, but I'm just wondering if this could be some posturing to
    get out of riding the Giro. Who will they send to that anyway? Robbie V and Kenny Labbe?
