No. I could see Levi sticking with Lance. Hincapie? Columbia is kind of his baby, so I don't think he leaves that. Besides, "Big George" said, I thought, that this was his last tour.

It looks like Lance and Contador will not be riding together for RadioShack. C. just said that he never did respect Lance and never will. Doesn't sound like they are very chummy. Contador has got great form, but a T. Rex brain. I hope Lance sticks his pump into his spokes, ala Breaking Away.
