Lance Armstrong is getting down to business with his Discovery
Channel's newest signing, Ivan Basso. The seven-time Tour de France
winner ensured that the American team had the signature of the Italian
after he ended his contract with Team CSC, and Armstrong is now passing
along his knowledge the team's newest member. The 2007 Discovery
Channel riders have been in Armstrong's home town of Austin this week
for their first 2007 season training camp.
The American has been on most of the team rides and is excited about
its potential Tour winner. "I know that he [Basso] wants to win the
Tour. I will make available my time and passion," said Armstrong, 35
years-old, in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
What could Armstrong possibly teach Basso? How to hide the dope in
one's body? Basso already knows how to do that quite well. Lawyer
tactics? Basso knows that too.

How to succeed in a second division team?

Discovery Channel exclue de l'IPCT
Serait-ce le début de la fin pour la Discovery Channel ? Toujours est-il
que le groupement des équipes du ProTour (IPCT) a décidé à la
quasi-unanimité, vendredi, d'exclure de son sein la formation qui a
récemment recruté Ivan Basso. Active Bay, la structure de Manolo Saiz
(ex-Liberty), interpellé au début de l'affaire Puerto, a également été
exclue de l'organisation.
Is this the begiinning of the end for Discovery Channel? The Team
Association of the ProTour (IPCT) decided almost unanimously on Friday
to exclude the team which recently hired Ivan Basso. Active Bay
...Manolo Saiz ..was also excluded...

LANCE never 'succeeded' on a second-division team, did he? I mean, he
had success with Motorola (stage win), who got a Tour invite, and he
had success in the Vuelta and the Tour with Postal/Discovery. All
his success came at the top level of the sport. (Unless you're
talking about his Subaru days...)

Both Motorola and USPS often had to rely on wild-card entries in to the Tour
de France, before Lance won his first race in 1999.
