Yep, if your cheating get out now and save face. I must admit I wasn't really much of a fan of T-Mobile up until now, I've alway admired Erik Zabel, loved how Alexandre Vinokourov races and Andreas Kloden (sort of been my nickname since I sort of pass a bit of resemblence to him apparently), but the team was a shambles with secluded groups and a bunch of prima donnas, but give them credit, all of those guys are gone and a new team has emergered and a team effort, like mixing the riders up when they share a room on training camps races who wouldn't usually room together so they get to know each other, the professionalism, and some good good crop of young riders and experienced riders and with the misson of racing clean.

I'm happy for all of this. Always figured this might come back to haunt Disocvery especially with the hunt of a new sponsor. Basso was meant to have a domestique delux in Yaroslav Popovych for the Giro, perhaps he could be a good outsider for the Giro now.
