What odds do you all give for Tommy Danielson to be riding for a top level pro team next year at this time?
#1 will happen, especially since everyone seems to love slipstream right now.Einstruzende said:Right now I would say zero percent unless one of two things happens:
1. Slipstream becomes a ProTour team
2. Some how, some way he has a good ride in the TdF. Stranger things have happened.
if you can muster up enough money from other sponsors, what's the point?davidka said:Except for a title sponsor...
I guess it all depends on what you count as "top level." I don't see why a ProTour or second level team would bother. He's either been injured or under achieving for the last five years, which isn't a great return on investment.magnolialover said:What odds do you all give for Tommy Danielson to be riding for a top level pro team next year at this time?

I heard a funny story from someone who is friends with one of TD's former teammates.Pablo said:Goodbye Slipstream. Hello Rock Racing.
Nah, not me. I've seen what trying to race like a pro is like, and I already know that I don't have it to be at that level, even at a low level and all. Life of a pro bike racer, for the most part, stinks. Drugs. Pressure to perform. Low pay. No insurance. And so on.Mosovich said:he's racing, and we're just wishing we were..
Be that as it may, I'd give my left one to be able to ride at his level. He would utterly smoke the vast majority of people that call themselves cyclists.magnolialover said:Nah, not me.

TD can have it. I just hope his wife makes more than he does. She seems to race better.
Jeeze, you must really want to smoke the vast majority of people that call themselves cyclists!!!Einstruzende said:Be that as it may, I'd give my left one to be able to ride at his level. He would utterly smoke the vast majority of people that call themselves cyclists.
I agree with Magnolia- been there done that. I made a run at it, saw how the TD's of the world live and I wouldn't want it.Einstruzende said:Be that as it may, I'd give my left one to be able to ride at his level. He would utterly smoke the vast majority of people that call themselves cyclists.
