so i've been...

thinking about this, and i'm not sure what to think. since i haven't been paying attention to what is going on in pro-cycling, it has been brought to my attention that basso has joined team discovery.

so [why?] is my question.

i understand [why? to win], but i guess my real question is, where does that leave leipheimer? i knew that hincapie {and congrats to him on winning the u.s. championship} is not the team leader, but i thought that was what leipheimer was going to do. i mean isn't that why he left u.s. postal to begin with? so i guess i'm confused; what will be leipheimer's roll be?
