I don't think so, yet.
No. Velonews would've posted it right away.
Incidentally, the SI article reads to me as both right and clueless -- Slipstream is definitely an up-and-coming team, heading for the higher ranks, and they're serious about their anti-doping stance, but not quite ready for the pro tour given their results so far. OTOH, the Discovery team isn't going to vanish into thin air, and a lot of the change that's coming is (speculation alert!) going to come out of a combo of demographic luck and the big political battles between the UCI and the major race sponsors.

How many of you who don't consider yourselves computer geeks know what RSS is and use it at least once a week?
Me!
Thinking hard, I first got online in 1995, working as my sister's admin assistant and bored all day. I think the first community I got into was a Highlander fan/fanfic board.
Don't like cilantro or olives. Used to like olives, don't know what happened. An un-acquired taste, I guess.
I have a huge bruise on the back of my hand from where a clumsy phlebotomist tried for 20 minutes to get blood out of my veins and finally succeeded, shortly after which I fainted. The bruise hurts and is ugly. The inside of my elbows are bruised too. They better learn something important from those two vials of my life's essence. *snarl*

Yeah, I didn't understand that vibe in the article. Austin Murphy's articles are really hit-or-miss for me, generally.

I think a lot of people miss the difference between team ownership and sponsorship -- after all, it's the sponsor's name on the front of the jersey, right? Fact is, the contract was always until this season, and they've had no plans to renew, even before any of this. And that (not owned by Discovery) team has the best management in cycling, and just put in the strongest performance
as a team
in yonks.
But it's easy for the audience that doesn't know cycling to structure the article as team in decline vs. shiny new thing.

BACK UP OFF MY MUFFALETTA!!!
Seriously! And we have not even begun to address their off-texture!
My sistah! They squeak when you bite into them. I don't want my food squeaking at me.
Teh yum=cilantro, root beer.
Teh yuck=grapefruit, olives.
Calamari=depends on freshness and how it's prepared. Hate rubbery and cannot eat those little pieces that look like a bunch of little tentacles. Rings only, please.
Well, the vs. commentators thought that there would be a new sponsor announcement on Sunday. Perhaps that was just pure speculation.
(My Boys is still very enjoyable.)
can someone just make up a chart at this point? seriously. when the discussion starts up we can just post it, save everyone else the need from posting how their tongue works and only the new folks to the discussion will need to chime in.
all of y'all crack me up with this.
