I don't get the connection... unless you were meaning you were already
messing with that stuff...

yah, I agree. After the Tour last year there was some press speculating
Tyler's jump to another team so he could vie for a #1 spot. If Lance stays
on past this Tour, I wouldn't be surprised if Tyler jumped to another team.
I hope not, he's really the only one ready to step in (well, Hincapie kicks
ass too, but isn't he getting old?)
