So, on one hand, I was happily surprised to hear the there is a team taking over where Postal Service/Discovery left off for the TDF. It was a sad day when discovery announced that they were closing up shop. With the best run ever in the Lance days, it is surprising that they did not have the momentum for the long run. I always thought it would make more sense if Discovery aired the tour. Instead we have to pick up the random OLN station from Canada.
Although, argyle is way cool, I am not sure I want a subsidiary of McDonalds who slings Americanized tacos and Chimmy Chongas, Chipotle/Slipstream to represent the US to Europe and the cycling world. At least the Postal Service had a noble heritage.
Well, regardless, if a US based team can put together a world class team, I will be rooting for them. Go team argyle.
