Hmm UNC, I agree that it will be a heck of a pissing contest, but they are ruining cycling almost as much as doping is, if not just as bad.
As far as Team Slipstream goes, I agree that they are a great up and coming American team, and Team High Road is another great "American" team (although it's hard to think of them as anything but German, at least now) and I'm pleased that they'll both be riding the TdF, especially Slipstream. Maybe they can be this year's Barloworld.
However, Astana still has some of the best cyclists in the world, and Contador will be a stud for years, barring injury or other problems. He is the most amazing pure climber, and his will to get it done in the TT and on the flats is impressive. And Johan is the best cycling manager in the world, bar none. I know his role is different with Astana, but in pro cycling leadership, no one has his record.
And one more thing: No one has done more for American cycling than Lance. Not even remotely close.
