Hey Everyone, Anyone check out the TdGeorgia website?
Under the teams page
["]http://www.tourdegeorgia.com/the_teams/the_teams.html]
it lists under Divison 1 Trade Teams: Saeco-Saunier
Duval (Italy/Spain). Last I checked, Saeco and Saunier
Duval were two seperate teams... anyone know whats going
on here?

I read somewhere that they're sending a composite team
to Georgia.

Probably a couple stars and a few watercarriers from
each team. I saw it too and figured it's just a combined
squad for the race, as neither probably wants to field a
full team.

Dave,

Last year at the SF Grand Prix, Vini Caldirola and Formaggi
Pinzolo were billed together. Four riders from each team
showed up in their respective jerseys, but between them,
they were considered one complete team with numbers from the
same series (i.e. 150-158, or whatever it was). It must be
the same thing here.

They do it to split the expenses, most likely.
