I'm rather surprised that Chan didn't get the nod.
I mean he is wearing the US national champion jersey.
I think USPS has a deep team, with lots of motor
(Eki, Landis, padrnos).
I think this team will do well against the Spanish
teams who are the only real threat to USPS.

Plenty of talent and experience on this team. I'm a little sorry that VanDeVelde isn't riding LeTour this year. If I were putting the team together, I probably would have used exactly that same roster. It's just that VanDeVelde seems like a nice kid. He had a rough time last year. Ah, well, he will ride again.

That's right, I remember Vandevelde crashed and had to abandon, poor guy! Maybe USPS wqill do the Vuelta and Vandevelde can get his chance. I also noticed Michael barry isn't there, but he'll be doing the Commonwealth games for Team Canada. Incidentally, a lot of the big guns are likely to be in the Games, including O'Grady, McEwen, Graeme Brown, Michael Rogers- hopefully Cadel Evans! The road race is shaping up to be a good one.
