I could be absolutely wrong about Bruyneel's and Lance's aims. But they want nothing to do with the sport, yet are going to train juniors? Seems to me training juniors is the perfect way to identify young, American talent. They could put together quite the young, talented American team in 5 - 6 years.

Is it not akin to the Team Mercury which brought along so much of the talent that formed the basis of Team Disco?
