Apparently that was the team that had Jan Ullrich on it, too, and he was expected to do extremely well in the Tour.
actually, it was Astaná-Würth that lost 5 of its 9 riders and had to drop. unfortunatly, this means that tour prospect Alexandre Vinokourov (who was clean) couldn't compete. t-mobile lost only ullrich and sevilla.
