Telekom Revisited

We used to get a lot of mileage making fun of Team Telekom. Mainly because they answered the question of "Is it possible for a team to be too talented?" with a resounding yes. It was a beautiful demonstration of total dysfunction. The question wasn't if Telekom was going to dissolve into bickering factions, but when.

So, now the Ullrich is retired, Zabel is on Milram, and Kloden and Vino are on Astana and not even at the Tour, Telekom gets a makeover. And I'm not even talking about the new name in Team Columbia - High Road.

Lovqvist is in White. And he's not a fluke, he really can win it. Cavendish won a stage. And Kirchen is technically in both Yellow and Green. This is a team that looks like it can do anything right now. They lost all of their stars, but they look like a better team. Heck, even Hincapie looks good right now. They look, dare I say it, harmonious.

I kind of miss the old days.
