McEwen to Radio Shack? Maybe the fat ladies not singing....for Radio Shack that is.

[Oldman]

I've got one of those walkie talkies - they were a piece of ****

I guess Robbie just took the first team he got an offer from. Anyone but radioshack!

That's why you have to turn the volume all the way up...Hopefully Robbie will be paid and retire gracefully.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Look forward to Lance giving Robbie a big lead out at TDU.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

I'm glad Robbie will be part of the 2011 peloton, but I kind of wish he was riding for a real team. Oh well.

i'm wit you. RS should be a team in transition (away from GT GC objectives). hopefully for Robbie it'll work out that way.

Lance will be too busy going solo trying to win the overall... if the media hype is any indication

Were they the ones that were on the same frequency as the truckies' CB radios?

Well, thats only fair given that Patrick Jonker miraculously won it when it was HIS last Australian race....

Hes going from a team that fines you 5x your salary when you dope, to one which fines you 5x your salary when you dont.

 

[flicker]

Epic move good on the shack. Hunter McEwen will do well and mentor the young riders, way to go Johann!

 

[steelciocc]

Good that the Robbies will be getting a check next year. Wish it was another team though...

 

[notread]

Did anyone send these two poor guys the memo? RS will be lucky to make it through March.

 

[Kai Winters]

Hmmmm...

Team Obamacare

Sponsored by Medicare...don't crash though...you aren't covered...sorry !

OR
to one where you don't make the team if you don't

ya know i really don't want a reason to somewhat give a fraction of a **** about team radio shack

I'm not stupid!

Just imagine Liggett, Sherwen & Tomalaris all fawning over Lance...groan!

Well, thats only fair given that Patrick Jonker miraculously won it when it was HIS last Australian race....

i wouldn't make comments about Pat on this forum so openly.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

I'm proud to say I rode next to him in Kortrijk when he was riding for katjoesja
But imo it's a good choice to go to RS, they'll let him do whatever the heck he wants as he doesn't need a train..

wanna bet?

I am not completely ruling it out but history shows brunyeel doesn't take sprinters to the TdF.

haven't seen this in other threads but if I missed, here goes again -

gazzetta dello sport reports that menchov may be going to radioshack.

Wow that is big news.

 

[roundabout]

They should have one spot open, but this should (in theory) require extra commitment from sponsors.

 

[NickBVK]

Unless Menchov does join, no reason not to take McEwen to the Tour.

He'll be there

I disagree, Bruyneel has never taken sprinter to the tour why start with a 39 year old sprinter who will get his ass handed to him in every sprint by Cavendish, Greipel, Farrar, Hushovd, Petacchi, Bennati, probably even by guys like Ciolek & Pozzato. Man i am an aussie and a robbie fan by i am also a realist. I will happily eat my hat if he finds awesome form in the new year and starts carving up again in the way we all love......but i just don't see it. I can vision him picking up a few smaller wins this season but nothing that will warrant dropping a mountain domestique (a Brajkovic or ruberia type rider) for and older sprinter

I haven't heard anythjing about a possible Menchov jump. It was a pretty big deal when he signed with Geox this year. I haven't followed Geox at all. Is there any motivation for Menchov to consider changing this late in the game?
