US Postal Cycling Squad (Was Sold Out)
Lance Armstrong may be in the best form of his career now...but even he is not confident and is aware that he is not invulnerable. Roberto Heras sold him out at the last moment with no direct communication other than through his attorney to extricate himself from the team as his contract stated. This forced US Postal Director Johan Bryneel to scramble for a new elite climber to compensate for this dramatic loss.
I think this will be an even sketchyer battle than last years dramas that unfolded. Personally, I don't think Armstrong will survive as a first place finisher. Not to take away from him....I hope he does it....but then again....the chess board has its rooks and knights poised in a manner that leave a ? to the imagination. Anything can happen this year.
