He will probably have Axel Merckx, Serhiy Honchar, Patrik Sinkewitz, Michael Barry (good for the lower slopes and is another Discovey man defecting across) and Guiseppe Guerini, while the up and coming Linus Gerdemann could get drafted in. So that is possibily 6 members right there, from there it will be fight out between Eisel, Kirchen, Schrek and Bernucci for the last two or three spots. I think that will be their Tour squad right there.

Unfortunatly not as the highlights were on too late for me

But as far as I read he has done a great job and I can't wait to see him ride in the ProTour, the two mentioned plus Matthew Goss (wore the leader's yellow jersey in the Tour of Britian) seem to be Australia's best young prospects, especially with the teams they will ride for '07 suggests they have something going their way.
