I guess slipstream will be the new great American team :( I wonder who they will pick up. I got a 10 spot on Levi... they'll have the greatest TTT on planet earth.
That'd be awesome. Also...

I had heard that Slipstream wanted to buy Disco's ProTour license if they disbanded...I wonder if that's still the case. With the big names they're signing I don't doubt they'll somehow get one.

I'm gonna guess that getting in as a wild card and getting their own license would be a lot cheaper, yeah?

With Disco bailing, Astana all kinds of fvcked, and other teams on the bubble, it seems like SS might have it easy getting in.

I thought they wanted to wait until '09 for the ProTour thing, but who knows now.
The license and everything that goes with it is pretty expensive, and I think they have a great shot at wildcard entry into most of the big races for '08 at least...
