With Lance in shimano's back pocket, I would bet they would. What Tyler needs to do is get paid like Lance is to ride Campagnoo...but of course Campagnolo doesn't normally bribe their riders or teams, just supply equipment.
Hmm .. not too sure about that. When the top 4 or 5 UCI teams switched from Shimano to Campy last year (don't quote me exact) when they had their best results the year(s) before using Shimano... I wonder what made them do it. Maybe something like hey, you are an ITL team, you have to support ITL manufacturers? I guess Shimano "bought" back several top teams (Div 1 and 2) this year. So far the race results have been more than impressive.

Well, I guess Tyler just got a pay raise. According to the latest Velonews, he will be riding Campy this year, for the first time in his career.
