dumbass,
that's not my point (but you're free to pretend otherwise).
my point is the team he's sending to the tour isn't composed solely
(or even mainly) of young talents with clean slate minds that
slipstream developed into tdf quality riders.
slipstream contracted veteran tdf riders, which is something any
organization with the means can do.
