Discovery disbands
Tailwind Sports confirms team's end
By Laura Weislo
Tailwind Sports has announced the end of the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team today, confirming rumours that cropped up when the team failed to announce a new sponsor after winning the Tour de France. The team was given notice that the Discovery Channel would not renew its sponsorship back in February, leading to a long and intensive search for a replacement sponsor.
So are you telling me that LANCE can't get on the horn and hustle up some sponsors? He can't co-sponsor them himself? Or does he want to distance himself from something?
HMMMMMMMMM.........WHY WOULD LANCE WANT TO STEER CLEAR OF THE TEAM THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR "HELPING" HIM WRAP UP 7 IN A ROW?
I mean it is not like they don't have the defending tdf champ(for now) and the 3rd place guy on the roster now. What about master tactician (wink,wink) Bruyneel? We're not talking about a bunch of cat. 3 hacks and masters class wannabee's.
Hey Johan, I think Rabobank needs a DS.
This whole thing smells like a half-pint basque shitbag.
People pulling out left and right.
And just wait for the Floyd deal to come out. He is going down too.
He will be riding huffy's in the downtown Peoria summer crit series next year. Huffing around on fumes mumbling about his "fairness fund".
Better sell your Trek stock, 08 sales just went down the shitter.

maybe Manning LLC could be the sponsor...I think he would do it only if he is the GC man on any stage race
lance is staying clear as it is $45mill over 3 years to fund the team. That will cut into his Shinerbock Account, and he is to smart to let that happen.
