Britain's Cycling Weekly reports on a story in today's editions of La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper that says Mario Cipollini has cut ties with Rock Racing.

What does this mean for Rock's bid to get into the Tour de Georgia? The story says Cipollini may be negotiating with Tinkoff. Could we see "The Lion King" in Georgia in a Tinkoff kit? Last year, it was Tyler Hamilton who got the headlines for that team at that race.
