No money. They just need red blood cells to reinfuse!

The bike shop is tiny. And I'm willing to bet like most rich people, most of his money is in stocks, bonds and real estate - all of which has tanked since 2005.

Highly unlikely. Nike just had the largest layoffs in their history. And Livestrong has said they are not equipped to own a large bicycle team - they operate as a non-profit cancer origination.Bala Verde said:According to this cycling news site (sometimes horribly wrong in their journalistic endeavours) Nike and Livestrong are ready to take over Astana if they fold.
So, you're starting to agree with us on Lance?jackhammer111 said:He wrecked the last tour he was in and nobody should be interested in anything he has to say unless he comes back and get's his credibility back through use of his legs, not his famously loud mouth.
A very beautiful race in a very beautiful part of the country. But it's a short circuit race! Anyway, if you get to talk to them, ask them if they will support hematology testing for blood volume using the carbon monoxide test as proposed by Michael Ashenden.Thoughtforfood said:I just found out some really great news. Armstrong, Levi, and Horner will be racing in the Nevada City Classic this Sunday, and I will be there.....pictures to follow. OH JOY!!!!
Bala Verde said:I actually heard that they want this huge sum of money in advance, so that Astana can't pull the plug AFTER the tour. This would effectively that they'd get the best publicity for only half year's sponsorship (pretty clever move by Astana methinks)

Whatever happened to HP as the main sponsor? I can however easily see a MellowJohnny's/HP/Nike/Trek/SRAM team owned by Lance. But will they be able to wrestle the PT license from the Kazaks in two weeks time???
So, you're starting to agree with us on Lance?
Seriously, I normally can't stand Vino as he was one of the most egregious dopers and I agree with you. But I think there's a lot of logic in what he says about the current state of the team and how the Kazaks could progress with it. It makes sense for the team on both a financial, and developmental level to do what he says if they want to stay alive. They need to find a way to fund what they have currently, and look towards getting out from under the current weight of their all-star line-up and that financial burden in the long term.

However, given the relationship between the Kazakh government, sponsors and Vino, doesn't it seem a bit odd they would pull the financial plug, at the end of July?
That's a week after the guy who the whole team was financed for, returns.
