gotta believe that with their history of injuries, either horner or leipheimer or kloden will
be unavailable for the tdf. would like to see vaitkus on the roster. rast did a nice, unsung job for astana
last year.

i'm hoping that bruyneel will let brajkovic ride the giro or vuelta and let him be the protected rider.
after his "arrival" in the vuelta a couple of years back, he's been kinda quiet but with armstrong,
kloden, zubeldia, leipheimer et al, there's not many crumbs left. since jani's shelving, some other
young riders have emerged (ebh, lovkquist (sp?), tony martin, andy schleck, the liquigas duo...).
here's hoping he jumps back into the frame with a vengeance.
