Versus coverage indicates Christian Vandevelde and David Millar will
join Slipstream next year. A number of other notable names are
rumored.

So just how does Slipstream acquire an entry to the TdF?

Register as a French team.

Magnus? Maybe O'Grady, but everyone else is way out of reach. Henk
Vogels would be another good choice with his Boulder background. Or is
he retired?

I can't see either Boonen or Cancellara joining a Continental team , so I'd

Looks like it is Backstedt if this information is solid:

ASO is not swayed in their wildcard selections by the presence of popular French cyclists.

Man, if Voeckler rides for a US team, Simon Brooke's
brain is going to explode from conflicting loyalties.
