Spinning tonight with Mike went well. Class seemed to go along quickly so maybe I had a good night.

News Item of the Day: Newly-signed US Postal Service (soon to be called Discovery Channel) recruit Tom Danielson has already formed favourable impressions five days into the team's first training camp, conducted in Lance Armstrong's hometown of Austin, Texas.

Clearly, 2004 was a tough learning curve for the 26 year-old, who often struggled at times under the direction of hard-as-nails Fassa Bortolo directtore sportivo Giancarlo Ferretti. But now back in an American team at least until 2006, the Colorado native said to the Paceline.com's Chris Brewer he is enjoying every minute "and there no real egos or internal competition to get around" - which one could construe to be made in reference to his former team.

"It's really amazing and I am throughoughly enjoying myself. Most of the other teams camps I have been to have been a lot more difficult in terms of fitting in and everyone getting along," said Danielson. "But here there's been none of this. Everyone here knows the established hierarchy and there are no real egos or internal competition to get around. This camp has been an excellent experience."

Viewpoint: It would be good to Danielson have a good year after a wasted one last year.
