Details filled out and now hoping they are not taking us on a training sprint. May be taking a sickie for the first time in years if it comes off though.

Thanks BD.

Think you would have heard about it if I had. All you would have had to do was stick and ear out of the window and you would have heard me.

2,000+ applied and only 300 rides available and they were going to advise by SMS on mobile phones or by E-Mail. If you were one of the lucky ones- you had to be in Central London at 8am and they would then advise on the mobile where to get to.

I was up at 5am and checked the phone and E-Mail again but no message. Had to go into work again today but the wife was all primed to phone work to tell them I had caught a cold and had lost my Voice.

Web site for the "NEW" team is here- but as they did not invite me to their ride- I will probably still be following Columbia and Liquigas this year.
