We haven't signed anybody. We're full. We have 27 riders and we're going to keep it that way. |
We put this team together specifically for this course, and it turned out to be the best team I have ever seen. |
We were up there in the Classics and the Tour of Spain as well. |
We're convinced that he would have kept his leader's jersey had he not crashed. You don't take the yellow jersey away from a rider who crashed out. |
We're definitely not going to sit back and watch. Tomorrow and the day after are two hard stages and I think we can still try to do something. We're going to be aggressive. |
Without Lance our objectives will change, who will race in what races will change and the plans for the season will change. But we still have a very strong team without him. If you look at our 2005 season and take out what Lance accomplished, basically his Tour victory, this team had an amazing season. It was a season that any team would sign up for before it started. |
