"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."

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?
