Ouch - they both signed with Tyler Hamilton's team Phonak! 
No more Landis and Pena for Lance
- Thread starter Heidi
- Start date
Phonak is looking like a REALLY strong team for next year. At some point, Tyler has to finish without drama!

Maybe not send a team? Or perhaps Axel would be the leader?
they'll have to send a team....pro tour now, each team to compete in all 3 grand tours (popovych is there now) and all the world cup classics etc. Axel signed with Davitamon Lotto as they will be called now (so did cadel evans)
oh ya, Phonak is buying them all up, even South African sprinter, Robbie Hunter, suppose 2 wins the tour of switzerland get noticed by the swiss phobnak guys.
Oh crap, I forgot about that!rockracing said:
Posta...Discovery will be A-OK. Keep in mind that they have more riders than just the team that raced the TdF. I haven't looked at Velo or Cyclingnews lately, but I recall they already picked up several decent riders. Aren't they going to sign Leipheimer as well? I remember hearing some buzz about that.
All I know is next season needs to go a little smoother than this current one is going as far as the entire doping situation goes. As popular as the sport has become over the last decade or so, it is a matter of time before people get totally fed up w/ reading about the doping scandals and accusations. I will pretty much give up following them if it doesn't change for the better - and soon.
