Telekom in the wind
As part of its continued preparation for a full-on assault at the Tour
de France, several key members of Team Telekom will test their riding
positions in the wind tunnel. Santiago Botero, Cadel Evans, Paolo Savoldelli,
and Alexandre Vinokourov will head to the factory of auto maker Audi to
