What would be the attraction to ride w/ Lance if you are on Garmin or Columbia? Well, one, if you got paid more. And two, the opportunity to be talked about a bit more in the race, if you are a domestique. But no chance for individual glory. Do I see Christian switching over? 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.
