US Postal Masters/Serotta

[drbob]

What is happening with this team? Are they now going to be sponsored by the Discovery channel and will Serotta continue with them?

I asked the same question the other day. Lots of looks, but no responses, so I guess nobody knows...

USPS Masters website has some recent info on it, but no mention of sponsors or plans for next year. The Postal Service website shows a single "thanks for the memories" page, but no mention of the Masters. A brief web search showed only mention of USPS team and not the Masters. These are good riders and nice guys, it would suck if they just silently went away...

Apparently AMD stepped up to the plate (and the bikes are still Serottas):

They do need to change the URL, though.

. . . I would be more honored to draft on these guys for 10 minutes than to ride with Lance for an hour.

bostic was wearing a usps masters jersey this weekend....his wheel broke in half, then he motorpaces up to the pack at 45, goes right to the front, makes a move and dies...joked to a couple of the doof's pals that he would have to buy some fitness...he looks sorta pudgy, but then again the cat is like what, 55, and he's busting on Cat1s at will....
