                    [Summary] => 



While the move was certainly provocative, DISCOVERY CHANNEL's (DC) signing of Ivan Basso for 1.5M Euros per year for the next 2 years was no surprise.


When Basso was released by FASSA BARTOLO after 2003, Lance Armstrong and US POSTAL (DC before 2005) pursued the Italian. Instead, he went to CSC for less money and a sole leadership in the grand tours. Basso's decision was right for he was the only rider to legitimately challenge Armstrong in the next two tours.
