I have always wondered what US Postal get out of their sponsorship. The fans in Europe who follow cycling on TV have their own perfectly good postal systems.
I'm starting to wonder too. I'd always been under the impression that the USPS was trying to compete with FedEx and UPS as a worlwide parcel carrier, but some cursory investigation reveals no real evidence of this. Apparently USPS subcontracts their European deliveries to a company over there.
In the UK have you ever seen an advertisement for any delivery services from USPS?
