Correction 8/4/2004 - From Johan Bruyneel: Team Discovery has confirmed the signing of current Lotto rider Leif Hoste and Mr.Bookmaker / 2004 Paris-Roubaix podium man / Brit Roger Hammond for the 2005 season - more info soon...


I saw it. They've since retracted the statement about Axel and made their correction. No Axel yet, but we will see....
