Dave Z in ARGYLE!!!!

[Kalidurga]

if you follow NJBikeGal's link in cycling news further down you will see two instances where alberto contador is again linked to operation puerto. say it isnt so . . . .

Heeeeyyyy, don't be raining on Dave Z's parade here!!

I just hope Tenacious Z gets that knee problem sorted out. Hopefully, Slipstream will let him use his custom-made shoes (with argyle covers, of course).

I will be watching slipstream with much excitement. I heard rumors about George Hincapie going to there too.

As for Discovery, I heard a rumor that Hewlett Packert/Oracle will be the main sponsors next year. We'll see. I can imagine many sponsors pulling out since it costs upward about 10 million to run a team and that is a lot of money to be spending when looking at doping scandals.

They also said they signed a recent winner of the Paris-Roubaix but haven't released the name. Anyone want to bet who it is? Looks like O'Grady and Cancellara have contracts with CSC through 2008. I don't think Boonen would leave a Belgian team.

Rumor has it to be Magnus Backstedt from Liqiugas. The only other active P-R winner is Peter Van Petegem (I think he's with Quikstep)

Interesting. All the rumors I've seen about Hincapie indicate that he may go to T-Mobile. Personally, I think that'd be a big mistake on George's part, what with all their issues this year.

Good grief, KD - you are seriously plugged into the rumor mill!!!
You must have reported on a half dozen "rumors" in this thread alone!

BTW - isn't T-Mobile also pullling their title sponorship??

Bah. So I was a little addicted to cycling news during the Tour... That's acceptable isn't it?

And I only mentioned following two rumors in this thread. And, come to think of it, I think I read them both in the same article a week or so ago. So there

Here is a quote from Velonews for all you argyle fans:

And yes, the team will return in its argyle kits in 2008 - a design Vaughters takes full responsibility for.

"My sister has a great saying about the argyle kits," Millar said. "‘Fantastic concept, horrific realization.'

Go Argyle!

Freds without meds!

(that would be "Freds" in the positive sense!)

I believe Chris Horner is another one who is going to sign w/Slipstream.
