So far, so good! I just hope they are allowed on the big tours.

I think with Vande Velde, Zabriske, Millar, Danielson, and a host of others, they'll be allowed on the tours. They raced in the Tour of California, and, like Millar was saying in that article, if Astana can continue to get invites to the TdF, especially after last year, then Slipstream should get a shot.

I didn't get a chance to finish the article today, I'm going to read it tomorrow. Sounds like a pretty awesome team. JV was always one of the "good guys" in the sport.

I miss when Velonews and Pearl Izumi were two of my biggest customers. Working on a MAS90 problem while Davis Phinney was sitting and talking to someone at the next desk was pretty cool.
