What I still want to know is why everybody has been leaving Riis' team, which by all (official) accounts was quite successful and well-run.
OK, so the Schlecks are involved in setting up a rival team and Cancellara hints darkly at wanting to win the TdF, but that still doesn't seem to quite explain the original causes of this mass exodus?
Was part of it that everybody was worried about Contador coming?
