The Belgian rider Axel Merckx is 95% secure of changing his Lotto-Domo team with Brioches la Boulangere. Brioches is changing there team sponsor next year, and a place in the new pro tour should be waiting for them.

I thought I saw a news release saying he was riding for Discovery in 05

It was a mistake. They retracted that statement within hours. Too bad! :(

I suspect we'll see a lot of moves like this as teams try and beef up for next years pro tour. Which in my opinion is great.

Yea, I think he would have been a good addition to Discovery! It also would have been interesting to see how things played out between him, Lance and Eddie
