This is intended to be an ongoing thread to post and discuss Team Radio Shack developments as the Team fleshes out their plans and adds riders for next year's Gran Tours.
This is going to be a very well-managed, -organized, and -funded Pro-Tour Cycling Team, and it should be very exciting to watch as it develops.

i have never seen anyone working in a radio shack who looks like they have ever been on a bike.
but they do have nice cable!

I like how most people’s response to Team Radio Shack seems to be “Radio Shack is still in business?”
I’m ready to see how this shapes up.

Just like Radio Shack? May G-d help the publicists who have to do this for a living.
Radio Shack - you have questions, we have dumb looks.

Team Radio Shack Ping. (Lance Armstrong's new Pro-Tour Cycling Team)
I'm using our larger TdF ping list to let all of y'all know what we're doing, but I do understand that some of y'all may not wish to be pinged to developments of TRS.
Please let me know via FreepMail if you wish to be taken off the Team Radio Shack Ping List. This is expected to be a low volume list, btw.

I don’t think you will see Alberto Contador on the team - he was looking pretty chummy with the Columbia Slipstream boys on the way to the Champs...

Alberto is rumored to be under contract to Astana through 2010, as well as talking to folks about another Spanish team to be formed.
Contador doesn’t want to be on Astana with Alexander Vinokourov coming back from his 2-year doping suspension.

I would bet Horner is coming along. Who really wants to stick around Astana these days?

It is kind of funny that the response to US Postal was similar... Most often asked question was “Why is the Post Office spending money on a cycling team?”

RS is an odd company, and I have never quite figured out what they are supposed to do. However, this is a brilliant marketing move!

Kevin Smith could have done Clerks in an RS. :) But I wouldn't mock an RS employee any more than I would the cashier or bag boy at a grocery.
But it will be Bruyneel (surely) & Armstrong managing the team; Johan knows what he's doing.
And there will be / are plenty of other sponsors besides RS. Trek, and... (bay, can you take over here? :)

That’s hilarious. Sometimes the Onion does it right.
To: Ready4Freddy
Yes....I do remember. They are much like the old Western-Auto stores who has gone by the wayside because they refused to change. RS should use this opportunity to remake that company and go head-to-head with Best Buy. Since Circuit-City is gone I see an opportunity.

I hope Armstrong kicks Contador’s arse.
Didn’t like that guy at all.
