Just read on Julian Dean's website that in 2008 he is leaving Credit Agricole and going to Slipstream too.
So that makes Dave Z., David Millar, Christian Vandevalde...
That will be some team!
And clean!

Speaking of new additions to Slipstream...
Magnus Backstedt has announced that he is the mysterious Paris-Roubaix winner signed by Jonathan Vaughters' Team Slipstream for 2008. Vaughters' announced to Cyclingnews last week that he had signed an active winner of the French classic, but refused to name which professional had signed with the squad.

With all these new, high-profile additions to the team, I'll be very curious to see how that affects the existing roster. There's some excellent, as-yet-unknown talent already there and it'd be a shame to see any of them leave to make room for the new guys (even though the new guys are so awesome).
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

I recall reading on Velonews.com that Jonathan Vaughters has already axed ten riders from the team to make room for Zabriskie, et al.

Bummer. I hope the cutie Alex Something-or-Another hasn't been axed. He looks like someone who could be one of my sons. http://www.slipstreamsports.com/team...tail&bio_id=12
I need to find a Chipotle restaurant near me. Sounds like the kind of place that could accomodate my food preferences. And it supports my new Team!
And I *want* Slipstream argyle on *my* Subaru like in the team car photos.

Well, ya gotta hand it to Slipstream.
They've got to be some great salesmen to convince their financial backers to pony up the $$ for such a shopping spree. To get onto the Pro Tour at a time when pro cycling's name is dragged through the mud on a near-daily basis takes some serious you-know-whats.
And I know precious few cyclists who actually believe that any pro out there is really "clean."
