33 and 29. Yep, they sure are too old to win a tour next year.
I don't know what your problem is with Garmin, and why you think they are all has-beens. Let me repeat this for you: NOT EVERY TEAM WILL HAVE THE TDF CHAMPION ON IT- IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NO GOOD.
Geez, T-Mobile had that Has-been Ulrich on the team for years. CSC had Basso. Why didn't they just buy a
genuine GC guy like Armstrong. What losers. They're all has-beens and are washed up. Quit trying. Why bother. They suck. Blah blah blah.
the object of racing is to win. period.
Garmin-Slipstream: When Astana was near to collapse in May, the American team was close to signing Contador, reportedly backed by a sponsorship deal with supplements supplier Herbalife. Negotiations were also said to include Sergio Paulinho and Benjamin Noval. According to Spanish sports daily AS, Garmin-Slipstream, who showed at the Tour that they weren't keen on playing second fiddle to another American-backed team, is still vying to complete a deal for Contador in order to establish themselves as the direct competition to RadioShack next year. Less convincingly, however, AS also claims that this move will be guaranteed by Bradley Wiggins' transfer to Team Sky in 2010, despite the Briton's insistence just yesterday [Tuesday] that he will see out his contract at Garmin-Slipstream that runs to the end of next season.
Nevertheless, it is noticeable that Garmin-Slipstream is the team most heavily linked with Contador in the Spanish press. Moreover, team manager Jonathan Vaughters has expressed his admiration for the Spaniard, declaring: "Alberto Contador is an incredible rider and would be a fantastic rider to have on any team." Vaughters has also indicated that any signings would be made with the overall benefit of the team in mind. Could this mean Christian Vande Velde and Wiggins joining Paulinho and Noval as a set super-domestiques who would rival those backing Armstrong at RadioShack?
