With Lance gone, and Levi having shown that he's not really Tour GC material, they'll either need to look for a GC contender OR someone who can contend in big ways in other categories. I wonder how Bruyneel and Contador got along?
I bet there are a lot of teams thinking about whether they could carry the yellow jersey with someone with Contador's abilities leading.

They would also need boatloads of cash. He commands a high salary.

Of course this means Riis has an opening for a GC contender...
- Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
- Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
- Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle
Gone but not forgotten:
- Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
- Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

Rumor has it that he is most likely to move to Bjarne Riis' old Saxo team, whatever it may be called next year (SunGard maybe?) as the Schleck brothers have now officially announced they are leaving Saxo for the new Luxembourg team.
