Lidl-Trek (no longer Radioshack-Leopard Trek)

[cineteq]

Lol yeah this is pretty bad. I assume the bald one is Chris Horner, the others are indistinguishable

Anybody wants to make me an avatar of Horner? LOL!!

Zubeldia turns down Nibali/Astana approach to stay with RadioShack Nissan

http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/1...-approach-to-stay-with-RadioShack-Nissan.aspx

You know how last year, just before Leopard folded/merged with RS, the team was just starting to gain some unity and the riders worked better together (like in the Vuelta)?

Maybe this team should actually continue, without the people that hate it (Fuglsang) or will be banned for live (Johan). Maybe these guys just need some stability.

This is so terrible: http://shop.radioshacknissantrek.com/united-states/shop/key-ring-6-pcs-for-60/product-en.htm?or=6589370567&cu=euro

Only 80 Euros for some of the worst-looking key rings imagined? No wonder their finances are going so well...

I for one very much desire a set of those keyrings. They are utterly cute. Had I been aware of them sooner I would probably not have posted so harshly about team Radioshack Nissan Trek as I have. Imagine walking around with Bruyneel in your pocket. Do you suppose the Fränk Schleck one has a tiny plastic knife sticking out of his back?

Fuglsang announced on Twitter that he will ride Tour of Colorado

According to Bruyneel's latest blog post Andy won't be riding the Vuelta:

- I'm happy to report that Andy Schleck is set to resume racing soon. We've established a schedule for the remainder of the season where he should be in a good position to attain results - USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Canadian races, followed by Worlds and the two Chinese races.

Instead we can look forward to an epic battle between Contador and ... ... Monfort/Machado. Way to make the fans happy and secure sponsors maximum exposure! Why the f is this pos still making decisions on team Radioshack Nissan Trek?!

Thanks for sharing ... terrible decision IMO. Andy will get no results at any of those races. He wouldn't have gotten any at the Vuelta either but at least he would have gotten a GT in his legs with the perspective for next season

Horner told Frankie Andreu that he will be riding Utah and Colorado. Well, this should be entertaining.

 

[BillytheKid]

Ah, but now you are talking about two different things - the huge loss and the delayed wages. Of course both might be related though as you correctly infer!

Horner was helped back on in the TdF by Saxo, a the tack-gate stage after a long solo chase. I wonder why?

The only rational reason I can see for this, is that doing the Vuelta straight from injury would be too hard for him.

 

[Race Radio]

Utah-Colorado-Canada makes a lot of sense. They get some recovery time in between race, 3-4 weeks at altitude, and they are not in 35C heat

And it's enhanced by the crappy shape Andy was in before the injury. Would be like only opening the books the night before the exam.

 

[T-Nielsen]

To be fair, it would be hard to train yourself into shape, when you have brooken your (insert slang term for ***).

Based on recent weather some of the stages may be.

The need spend more on sponsoring cycling teams in Europe. Lamce effect right there.

And who will do that ? Europe is struggling even more. Established races have been disappearing off the calendar and teams are struggling find sponsors. Plus the Armstrong, Contador, Schleck sagas do not help much.

I believe you missed the sarcasm.

 

[Fidolix]

Looks like RSH is done in pro cycling, with a loss like that no financial institution would participate in any kind of rescue plan, unless they skip their involvement in cycling. It looks pretty bad for the team.

I think they mixed up Kloden and Andy Schleck though:

well.. to be fair, Klöden looks a lil like Andy
