[El Pistolero]

Here's the original Velonews interview:

The original quote:

I agree with him, but only for the stage races.

Contador is number one: only in stage races.
RSLT is the strongest team in the world: only in stage races.

Pictures from the first day of the training camp are up on LEOPARD TREK's facebook page. I assume there will be more during the next days.

Loving the New Zealand Jersey, has to be one of my favorites: hopefully the new team doesn't butcher it, also, Cancellaras jersey hopefully will look alot better.

Oh, RSLT and GreenEdge just got their worldtour licenses.
What a surprise.
Who would have thought. Sometimes even thehog's and others birds fail singing.
But thats a total exception of course. And it's just Monday.

 

[Christian]

It is interesting that the UCI refers to RaNT as a USA team, when they previously said that Leopard S.A. would hold the license ...

I thought they had to ditch the TREK as per rules.?

On another topic I don't think Fabs is going to be a very happy boy this next season. At least not with his TT bike so much....

im sure theres a memo going out advising everyone to use all three names contrary to uci rules.

of course everyone will just refer to them as radioshack (well at least when they are being polite)

They announced a couple of weeks ago that all their press releases and such will have all three sponsors on it.

Also it looks like they have taken over the caps from LEOPARD TREK, judging by the tweets

Happy to have our registration confirmed. Meet the 30 RADIOSHACK NISSAN TREK riders for 2012: http://bit.ly/rM06P7

Is this logo at the special request of Daniele Bennati, so he won't have to get his tattoo removed?

No, it's Andy Schleck's symbol.

 

[Benotti69]

No, it's Andy Schleck's symbol.

it represents a chain jumping of a rear cassette

Their first casualty of the year or pre-year training:

Markel Irizar, didn't make it to the team training camp. Broken Jaw and a finger.

I can only imagine how Merckx must have looked in '75.

 

[craig1985]

I thought thehog said RS were going to get shafted?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I heard Andy was angry because every time they play Twilight at training camp, he has to be the chick.

That will teach him for going through Duffys supply chest.
