  1. Lance Armstrong is getting down to business with his Discovery
    Channel's newest signing, Ivan Basso. The seven-time Tour de France
    winner ensured that the American team had the signature of the Italian
    after he ended his contract with Team CSC, and Armstrong is now passing
    along his knowledge the team's newest member. The 2007 Discovery
    Channel riders have been in Armstrong's home town of Austin this week
    for their first 2007 season training camp.

    The American has been on most of the team rides and is excited about
    its potential Tour winner. "I know that he [Basso] wants to win the
    Tour. I will make available my time and passion," said Armstrong, 35
    years-old, in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.

    What could Armstrong possibly teach Basso? How to hide the dope in
    one's body? Basso already knows how to do that quite well. Lawyer
    tactics? Basso knows that too.

    -how to think up a better codename for the blood bag
    -how to not get caught by your minute man in an uphill TT

    Chagrin. Panache. Passion.

    Discovery Channel exclue de l'IPCT
    Serait-ce le début de la fin pour la Discovery Channel ? Toujours est-il
    que le groupement des équipes du ProTour (IPCT) a décidé à la
    quasi-unanimité, vendredi, d'exclure de son sein la formation qui a
    récemment recruté Ivan Basso. Active Bay, la structure de Manolo Saiz
    (ex-Liberty), interpellé au début de l'affaire Puerto, a également été
    exclue de l'organisation.
    Is this the begiinning of the end for Discovery Channel? The Team
    Association of the ProTour (IPCT) decided almost unanimously on Friday
    to exclude the team which recently hired Ivan Basso. Active Bay
    ....Manolo Saiz ..was also excluded...

    LANCE never 'succeeded' on a second-division team, did he? I mean, he
    had success with Motorola (stage win), who got a Tour invite, and he
    had success in the Vuelta and the Tour with Postal/Discovery. All
    his success came at the top level of the sport. (Unless you're
    talking about his Subaru days...)

    Both Motorola and USPS often had to rely on wild-card entries in to the Tour
    de France, before Lance won his first race in 1999.

    national team at the time.
