am i the only one getting this question?

How many teams are in this year’s Tour?
a. Gerolsteiner b. Discovery Channel
c. Davitamon-Lotto d. Cofidis

PLease explain? Arew you asking how many squads start the Tour, or making a joke about how only a handful of riders make it onto the nightly highlights package?

not a joke.active had a technical problem with the emails send out.all is good now.

I dunno....it was kind of funny. For the last 7 years you'd think there was one team at the Tour.

:D

There were 21, but with the full exit of Astana-Wurth, there are only 20. Several teams are below the full 9 riders due to the ugliness of Operacion Puerto.

Here's who's in it...
