  1. Geez, toss everybody associated with Operation Puerto, combined with
    enough teams possibly quitting in protest and you could have an
    american sweep on the podium.

    Or more likely, the tdf gets canceled.

    Either one, ASO screws themselves.

  2. What makes you think that there are not more American names to be found
    in the investiagtion?
    You think that Girona is a popular place for American cyclists to live
    simply because Lance chose to live there?

    Americans are not popular in Spain right now for internation policy
    reasons. I'm sure the paper would have capitalized on that and listed
    any that and listed more if there were more involved.

    Tour picks:
    1. Leipheimer
    2. Vino
    3. Valverde

    Wow...I need to do only one thing at a time. Sorry for the choppy
    English.

  5. The reason why more US riders haven't been named? Coz they deal with a
    Mr Ferrari in Italy, rather than a Mr Fuentes in Madrid...

    An interesting, and very real, possibility.

    I hope not. There are many other riders that would be entertaining to watch
    during the competition.

    NOt really. They take a hit this year so that they can have other better years
    in the future. If they do nothing, they could collapse.
