contador kinda looked sad about the boos when I saw one of the CN photos. He is a tough rider but it is still very upsetting. Hopefully it wont affect his performance.

About how the booing affects Bertie, Riis said that directly after the presentation he came into the team bus and said the the whole team: "this will only motivate me even more".

CAS found the booing "shocking" but also said that the whole team is even more motivated to show its abilities.

The one with Riis is from a printed Danish newspaper, where Riis have a colum during the Tour, but u can find a bit from it here including both the Riis and CAs statements (use google translate from Danish)

Tour team presentation

The Tour tries to out-Giro the Giro and looks...ridiculous.

And you felt this was worth creating another thread, BESIDES the Team Presentation thread, why?

Maybe because I looked through the first two pages and did not see a team presentation thread. I just looked through the first four pages and still did not see one.

It's on the first page at the moment, near the bottom.

Some folks just have too too much time on their hands and feel that they have to do the moderators/administrators jobs for them. By posting in this thread that they deem unnecessary, they are pumping life into it. There was a call for moderators a while back, surprised none of these concerned citizens didn't take CN up on the offer.

Any videos of yesterdays team presentation? There was a highlights vid on ES but the only interviews they showed were of wiggins and evans, and they did not show Katusha Movistar Lampre and some others.
