Transfers

Interesting to note that some local WA boys are making changes in their quest to gain or remain employed in the professional ranks.

Jonny Sundt - out at Kelly Benefits Strategies, in at Kenda Pro,
Morgan Schmitt - out at Bissell, in at OUCH,
Russell Stevenson - out at Kenda, in at ??,
Adrian Hegyvary - in at OUCH,

On the big guns front, I got to wonder what Columbia/HTC did to piss these guys off; or is the $$ that much better elsewhere?
George Hincapie (BMC)
Michael Barry (Sky)
Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky)
Greg Henderson (Sky)
Kim Kirchen (Katusha)
Thomas Lövkvist (Sky)

And Radio Shack is stacked with talent - here's my prediction for the '10 TdF team most are former Astana, (with McCartney being the odd man to fill in for an injured teamie),
Lance Armstrong
Levi Leipheimer
Chris Horner
Janez Brajkovic
Andreas Kloden
Jason McCartney (Saxo Bank)
Yaroslav Popovich
José Luis Rubiera
Gert Steegmans (Katusha)
Tomas Vaitkus

And where will the rainbow jersey find a home?

11/1 update: answer to above question.
