Why would you expect to hear much about them at this point in the Tour?

Clearly you have been in the kitchen every time they mention the best young rider jersey, currently worn by Vladimir Gusev.

Because we (the majority of forummembers, americans) would rather talk about our home team, CSC. Because they have Dave, Cristian, and Bo..., ah shiiit, never mind.

At this point Disco has little or no chance of doing anything. Wait for the mountains and let's see how Levi's form is.

i especially like how in the pre-race interviews with hincapie and lipehimer, they both made references to discovery being "the strongest team in the peloton." PLEASE! astana has the best tour team, and outside that CSC is easily stronger and deeper (i have my doubts about their GC potential).

i guess they are all sipping the same juice that led them to believe hincapie could be a GC contender last year. the tour may not be won on mineral water, but it sure wont be won on those delusions either.

just like the beginning of every NFL season when they interview the lions & they talk about how they have a great chance to go to the playoffs.
