Ya, I saw some of the earlier coverage.  Sounds like he wasn't doing himself any favours.

Riis - one article said that he was observed watching tv on his laptop during a race rather than - you know - directing his team.  There were other things as well.  I'm sure he got a nice golden handshake.

Now that may reflect something going on behind the scenes.  Maybe Tinkoff was calling the shots and Riis had effectively become a figure head or he was disengaging because he was being undermined.  I am interested to see if he will land on his feet or if this will effectively end his career in cycling what with the recent news of his history of doping during competition.
