Evidently he is negotiatiing with The Buffalo to join Rock.
I can understand hiring a couple or three riders with a notorious past. You can get them cheap relative to their "talent" level. You might be able to sugercoat it by saying everyone deserves a second chance. But with the current mania over doping, how does Ball expect to get race invites when his team has become a refuge for any doper who cannot find employment elsewhere?
I don't get the strategy here, especially with his intent to turn his team Pro Contiental and race more in Europe. Is he so arrogant and narcissistic that he thinks he is immune to the consquences of stacking his team with a rogues gallery?

Ball does not care about cycling per se, positioning the team as "bad boys" is a perfect brand position for his company.
He stands out, carves his niche, gets loads of publicity. He does not care if it is bad publicity, as this rebel persona is intrinsic in the brand. Strategic position.
Ball is a complete cockhead. There was write-up on some of his 'ideas' in cyclingnews.com when he went looking for sponsors which was the same sort of bipolar surreality as that link.

Ahhhh Thunder ever now and then you are a very smart fella. Very good. Come over to the dark side. We eat babies.
Not possible. I would have shot him into the sheets.
BTW, what is the definition of mass confusion? Fathers day in Moe.
Poor old Moe gets a bum wrap. Look at Frankston its the farken new Brighton. There is hope for Moe. One day. They should build a big [censored] or something. Get some sort of attraction happening.
