..but guaranteed to be in all other races arranged by the ASO.

No BMC because they would rather send a strong team to T-A, and they have friends in ASO so it shouldn't be an issue either. Footon can enjoy life on the blacklist.

Teams for 2010 Paris-Nice:

AG2R La Mondiale
Astana
Bbox Bouygues Telecom
Caisse d’Epargne
Cervelo Test Team
Cofidis, le Crédit en ligne

I typed it that way for the pronunciation! Still it drove me mad listening to him say maaskrant and then two secconds later paul would say it right and he still couldn't take the hint.

Just to clarify one thing. You typed Maskaant on purpose?
instead of Maaskant.

BMC isn't among the teams that the ASO selected. An indication regarding Tour wildcards? (Already, they find a spot for the new French squad and the French historically look after their own.)
BMC will hope to get a TA invite, for Italy at about the same time, as Cadel wants to race the Giro this year.

Actually BMC told ASO they would rather send a strong squad to T-A then two squads yo T-A and P-N, so in essence, they did not ask for a wildcard. They do have one ace up their sleeve though, and that ace is John Lelangue, a former ASO employee.

They'll be at the races where they want to be, no problem at all.

They give them laptops and psychobabble, but that may be going a bit too far to meet their needs.

It explains the "mood lighting" though.

Just a little tidbit about training EBH in the cold, here.

It has usually been colder than -10 celcius around Oslo lately, so it makes all the whining from the italians and spaniards seem like... well, whining :)
