Will Astana Financial Collapse Lead To Armstrong Owning The Team?

[The GCW]

Questioning bianchigirl's statement.

Bianchigirl quotes: "They (the Kazahk Federation) hold the all important license - the one Armstrong keeps demanding they hand over"

Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't think Lance has made such demands.

What's the truth?

Bruneels cars

So, Johan can go away with his cars etc and start a Limo Service, Vinny can come back, ride clean and be a good little boy, Pat will somehow not let the Astana team to be included in Pro-Tour races ( like the Bookmaker team) ...The team will steadily dissolve into nothing and all this because the Discovery Channel pulled out of the sport just in time,,,,very sad

Even we make mistakes sometime. But we admit and correct them.

The soap opera continues

The saga continues: NEW KITS.


...The team's special kit will include the names of all of the current sponsors, but the design itself will be changed.

"There is no sponsor change, just changes to how the jersey looks to represent the significant changes that are ahead for the team," said a source who is in close contact with the team....
