Lance & his new team will help with TOC the first year head-to-head with the Giro; to really "take", though TOC will need the lion's share of "name" Euro, non-Italian riders, I think.
IIRC, there were something like 20+ TdF stage winners in last year's TOC field, for example - I'd hope/expect TOC still has 60-70% of that "name" field next year.
