I've read similar things... that Hamilton credits Riis's training techniques in large part for the success he has been experiencing this season. Plus, Tyler is already the CSC team leader, at least for the major tours, and he doesn't come across as the type to be looking huge bucks or ego gratification by moving to a "bigger" team.
And for that matter, wasn't Tyler's long breakaway that concluded in the storybook win Riis's idea? IMO, Tyler would be pretty to leave the situation he has now. 'Course, we don't know who all CSC might be recruiting, etc.
