This story just keeps taking new turns, doesn’t it?

This time, it’s team director and everybody’s fav Belgian Johan Bruyneel speaking, and he says Astana still has “loose ends” to tie up regarding a bank loan. So it would appear Lance and Levi’s boys are not quite out of the water yet.

It doesn’t appear as though it’s time to press the panic button, but a story like this dragging on is not what anyone wants. What are the chances we don’t see Astana in the Tour this year?
