11.08.2007/ Last week Dutch daily newspaper 'De Telegraaf' reported
that Discovery team manager Johan Bruyneel could be an option to follow up Theo De Rooij at Rabobank. Yesterday Bruyneel told
Belgian tv programm 'Sporza' that this was just a rumour. However today 'De Telegraaf' quoted Bruyneel that he would have
to think about an offer of Rabobank.

Today Dutch daily newspaper 'De Telegraaf' quoted Bruyneel, saying:
"If Rabobank asks me again, I will have to think about it. I can't answer that question at the moment. I know there will be
offers. When I choose for a new role with a team, it will be a management position. I don't want to be 200 days a year away from
home anymore. I stay involved in cycling in the future. I am busy with founding a project for young riders in the USA at the
moment."
Rabobank's managing director Theo De Rooij stepped down earlier this month after being critized for his
handling of the Rasmussen case. On August 8 the Dutch team appointed Henri van der Aat (50) as the temporary successor of
Theo de Rooij.
