Yeah, and Roberto wouldn't have anyone to compete with him except
Ullrich, Beloki, Hamilton, Beltran, Basso.........

In the first place the ONLY reason that Roberto would leave is because
he is offered enough money to make him change his mind. There's very
little chance that he could gain a podium position in the Tour and he
is the Postal leader in the Vuelta already.

Add to this the fact that almost all riders require a year or two at a
new team to settle in before they perform and Roberto is a sure thing
loser. Why be stupid unless it pays more than being smart?
