Jon, I am a fan too as they also have a South African Rider ;-). As for the poaching and the amount of money they have, well I think its the sign of the times with cycling. With the sport growing in popularity especially in the UK after the success in the Olympics and Le Tour with British riders doing so well. With team RadioShack thrown in the mix I think this season is going to be one of the most competitive. The only downside for me is that I hope the other teams are not going to suffer because of the financial differences. Bring it on 8)

In cycling, when sponsorship is concerned, morals must be put aside!
