Cycling Update

If you don't know, the Discovery Channel cycling team has announced it will disband at the end of 2007. That's different than changing sponsors, like when they went from being the U.S. Postal team to Discovery. The managers are retiring and the riders will have to find new teams. And that will leave the cycling world without a professional team from the U.S. for the first time in many years. Slipstream/Chipotle is building toward pro status, but don't know if they'll be ready by 2008. I'll understand if you aren't as interested in the tour next year if there's not a U.S. team to cheer for.
