More on Heras
This is interesting...the parent of the sponsor is a United States company. Postal stands to make a ton off the buyout which will put them right on the market to pick off another Beltran type rider. LS has, other than Igor, who else? I scanned the rider transfer/signing page on cyclingnews and found little. The money they spend on Heras' salary and the buyout would be, I would think, a large portion of their budget.
The very low key Heras working with the borderline out of control Saiz? Interesting match.
Roberto is very talented, evidenced by his two GC wins in the Vuelta. But the genius of Bryuneel's tactics did a lot to get Heras home first last September. Saiz ain't that smart.
