I mean, I'm really not surprised about the Disco team dropping Slipstream, Cycling is looking more and more like European Football IMO.

Apparently, the hunt for the new sponsors went as far as CHINA. CHINA!!! Doping in the tour happens - lets face it - but I think all of the publicity regarding Landis and his "innocence" brought a lot more attention than usual. And then you have his claims of some photograph of Lance's blood being transfered on a motorbike...

How can we so quickly forget LeMond? Training with his neighbor who called him "The Champ" he made a comeback victory to win the tour? After he was shot in the back?

Nevertheless, Trek is going to be served as a company if they can't find themselves a new team to ride their bikes. Half the people coming into the shop I work at are like, "Trek? Well, I know that's a good brand because Lance Armstrong rides it!" I'm not saying that will change at all - but just think if Trek starts coming back to Interbike...
