Riis doesn't worry about his stars going elsewhere (the Schlek's will go to a new team and they will take Cancellara with them, Breschel is going to Rabobank) as Contador will sign for his new team and he will take some of the Astana team with him (De La Fuentes, Hernandez, Navarro).

I just hope that Google will create a team, as rumors say they will. They will have a nice budget and I bet they will bring some new technology into the course.

I hope that all the new teams will go for recognizable outfits. I mean, Radioshack, BMC and Caisse de Epargne all have a black and red outfit which makes them hard to recognize when the whole pack is together. Same goes for the black & white of Lotto, Saxo and Cervelo. Rabobank was always recognizable with the orange & blue and then all of a sudden Garmin decides to use the same colors too. Teams like Astana, Liquigas, Footon and Euskatel do a good job with unique colors, and AG2R has standard colors but in a (ugly but) recognizable pattern which makes them stand out too. With all the money those sponsors invest in the teams you would think they want to be as recognizable as possible right?
