The best part is Bruyneel was going all the way to China looking for a sponsor. He could have easily brought down the amount to a more reasonable amount of say 18 - 21 million. Many Pro Tour teams run on below $10,000,000 per year as a total operating budget.

I am glad we do not have to hear about Bruyneel or see Lance anymore. The quicker these guys get away from Pro cycling the better it will be. Lance is a reminder of an era forever tainted by PED's, and he was the leader of the tribe. He and Barry Bonds should hang out together, and reminisce over their routines and cycles.
