Tyler made it official, he will be leaving the U.S. Postal team at the end of the year. While he didn't have a great Tour this year he was key in last years win for Lance.

Here a link to a small article in Velonews:

Wow. The clever observer might notice a pattern emerging. I wonder if life is made miserable for the USPS guys if they have a less-than-stellar TdF? It seems odd that he would announce it now, rather than wait for the end of the race (heck, it's only tomorrow).
:confused:

In any case, I wish Tyler the best with CSC, and hope that he has a good remaining season with USPS.

This news did come to a shock when I first heard about it. When I think of the Posties...I think of Lance and then Tyler. However, with this news I wonder if life on the Postal team isnt all thats cracked up to be. Kevin Livenston last year, Tyler this year?!?!??

I wish Tyler all the luck.

Life in the USPS house has not been "peaceful" these past years as many may already come to find out. I just hope they keep their doors closed and not let anything come out. It can be a Pandora's box.
