Slipstream is the main reason I'm excited about the upcoming cycling season. They have a great cast of characters riding for them, and it's nice -- especially after last year's Tour -- to have a clean team to root for. Anyone know when their new kit will be available? I'm itching to buy a 2008 jersey.
They will definitely have fans even if they can't compete for wins this year. However, I would think that this year is going to be the cleanest year in a long time, so they might be able to compete right out of the gate.
I'd like to believe this year will be clean, but some folks were saying the same thing before last year's Tour and, well, we know what happened there. I don't like the combo of Astana and Bruyneel, that's for sure.
