Nice to see Skil-Shimano and Barloworld there.

No Astana. I thought the "Let Levi Dope" petition would have surely changed the ASO's mind.

After Contador beating Leipheimer in a short TT, I would think there's even less chance of Astana getting a ride in any races with pretensions to being clean.

Especially in Spain, where Contador's transfusion would probably have to be caught on video to count as evidence.

And no DiLuca at the Ardennaises

Had not caught that. Unfortunate, but I think it is obvious that ASO could not invite LPR in this situation.

Didn't seem to do much good in Italy when they supposedly had Rebellin on video taking injections, undoubtedly only vitamins of course

No, he'd probably have to have the transfusion right there in the courtroom - and even then they'd probably let him off on medical grounds.

Les 25 équipes pour Paris-Roubaix (13 avril) ...

Mmh, racing on cobbles

And no DiLuca at the Ardennaises

DiLuca now swearing to get revenge on ASO by one day winning the Tour de France. Will be hard to achieve if he doesn't get invited to race it.
