Oracle? Well, if you think Armstrong has a big ego, just wait until you get a taste of Larry Ellison.
Given the way Ellison sponsored his Oracle/BMW America's Cup syndicate, I suspect he will expect to ride in the races as well.:rolleyes:

The title sponsor should be "As the World Turns" or "Britney Spears" because they are all little divas dripping with self created drama.

Larry Ellison made my aunt a multi-millionaire.

Via firing her at the wrong time.

Just saying...

I think they should put a picture of Britney on the shirt as large as the one Vino has on his personal jersey.

That famous beaver shot might be pretty motivating if you're staring at it in front of you for long enough.:p

Not to me, did you see that thing. Looked like a couple of ships of sailors dropped by and spent a month in it.

Yeah I heard it was quite the motley crew that dropped anchor there for a while...

(and i didn't mean the 'urban dictionary' definition, but now I looked it up, you might as well use its meaning instead...)

If it is indeed Oracle as a sponsor . . . I can see it now . . . . the new nickname for Armstrong by the haters and lovers alike will be "The Oracle" . . . in reference to "The Matrix".

Oracle and Larry E surely have deep enough pockets and has a world wide presence and relevance to pick up sponsorship of a team.

i dont see the problem?

The name oraclecycling.com was registered back in February, probably by someone who registers a bunch of names for practically nothing, hoping to cash in on some small percentage of them that somebody eventually wants to buy from them. I suppose it's possible this idea has been cooking that long, but I doubt it. If it had been registered in the last week or so, that would be much more convincing.
