Missing TdF teams

[Raptor]

I've got the VeloNews official guide, and only seven teams are profiled in the section titled, "The
22 Teams of the Tour de France." How's your copy?

Who is CCC polsat ? are they a polish team?

Jean-delatour might be a **** team in europe, but I wonder how they compare to the teams who are based in and race in the USA?

cheers

Saturn could easily be in the tour, if you use Delatour as a comparison.

Maybe next year the can register as Le Saturn and fool Leblanc into giving them a wild card.

Hey it is not any stupider than not letting Cipo into the TdF

It's a different world. It's like comparing Scandinavian "pro" hockey to the NHL: all the really
good Scandinavians play in the NHL.

Similarly, the standard of racing is higher in Europe. Pro-grade Americans go to Europe to ride, be
they Lance or new hotshoes making their rep in Belgium.
