One would assume that it'll then be easier for teams like Euskaltel to hold on to its status as mergers/withdrawals mean fewer teams and thus as a result fewer teams to compete with, but how the points will be distributed I'm not quite sure. On the whole though, the disappearance of HTC and the merger of Leopard and RadioShack should be to Euskaltel's advantage.Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190510412001563563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35441987.post-25725871754294668342011-09-13T08:55:43.806+02:002011-09-13T08:55:43.806+02:00How will the withdrawal of HTC and Leopard affect ...How will the withdrawal of HTC and Leopard affect the world tour ranking?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
