A lot of that team is based locally for me so I see them training, plus a number of my own teammates ride with them regularly.

I view Ball with a lot of caution. When an owner publicly acknowledges making all significant team decisions and demands his riders "win or be fired" it becomes easy to see why riders feel the need to turn to "enhancements."

I'd wait to see Hamilton in the kit. There were a lot of rumors that Ball signed Cipolllini last month, even had a Cipo sighting, but that was all for naught.

Don't get me wrong, I admire Rahsaan, but Rock Racing scares the heck out of me.
