I am not surprised at all. I feel Riis derserves the loyalty and that Basso
is best under his direction. Basso has proven himself as one of the most
savvy young talents to come along in many years. Compare Lance's first 3
Tours to Basso's.

If you left Fassa Botolo where you were basically the little brother
they didn't care about while focusing on the efforts of big brother
AleJet then joined a team which welcomed you as a valuable member of
the family, why would you leave again? Short of being offered biggie
$,$$$,$$$.¢¢ to be the captain of your own team. Punting Jan off the
podium has to have him on cloud nine.

And you can see team mates all around you that are doing better than they
ever did anywhere else.
