Already figured the Tour would have to increase it's fold. Otherwise somebody big was going to throw a wobbly.
At least it confirms their desire to give teams like Vacansoleil and Skil a berth and not allowing their places to be bought out from under them.

The mentioning of Skil-Shimano and Saur-Sojasun only adds to the competition for places in the Tour. Fopr example Cervélo is not mentioned in the candidates for a wild card but they will surely be there in the hunt.

Cervélo are pretty much guaranteed an invite due to their ranking this year.

If Cervelo can't get a spot with two stage wins and the Green jersey, then really, what more do they have to do?

Devolder has indicated that his 2010 race schedule will feature de Brabantse Pijl and - like Boonen - LBL. He'll drop the TdF, but intends to compete in the Vuelta. Source

Milan-San Remo has only 1.8k left after the Poggio - instead as 2.8 this year - according to wielerupdate. Petacchi - who reconned the parcours - said that he finds the finale complicated and believes it favors attackers over sprinters.
