Answer a dumb noob question for me. Some of these Tour teams like T-Mobile who lost a couple of dudes to the controversy before the start. So they are riding 2 men short. But they have a lot more riders in their employ than just the ones riding. So what I'm wondering is, when 2 of them were thrown out why not just bring in another couple of dudes? Sure they might not be prepared for the tour, but sure they could get a little bit of donkey work out of them to help out on the first week at least. Surely better than not having them there.
