That is only for neo-pro's.

It's RADIOSHACK-NISSAN-TREK-PROFESSIONAL-CYCLING-TEAM. Nissan is to be pronounced as N'ayh'sauhn.TeamSkyFans said:can we just get some clarification on wether its

this_is_edie said:That begs the question as to what happens to Radioshack's neo-pros then that signed last year? They still have one year on their contract.

Dr. Maserati said:Is there anyone who signed then?
Wasn't part of the problem this year that Radioshack hasn't signed any new riders or has anyone on contracts beyond the end of this year?

Thoughtforfood said:That is the big question. If it is pronounced "KNEE san" then we know the American part of the team is the real dominant force. If it is pronounced "NISS un" then we know the Euro team is dominant. I am waiting with baited breath...Then again, if the Lux guys have their way it will be pronounced "Nis S an" because they are pretty picky about how their team names are pronounced.
I am on pins and needles.
lancaster said:moving away from LA but keeping JB front and centre would be pretty self defeating. i just can't see LA going down and none of the stink going to JB.
Irizar and zubeldia to Euskaltel would be reasonable.
monfort, fugslang and feillu might not be keen to stay if they're not going to get a go in GTs (brajkovic, kloeden, Horner, FS, AS)
Race Radio said:Really? I missed that part of the press release, could you point it out for me?
The press release does say that the team would be based in Lux and use Leopard's license. I see no mention of Brunyeel.
Are you saying that Johan will run a different team because right now it appears that his team is dead.

LA/Bruyneel's company Olympus Sarl is luxemburg-based
Knowing how clever & greedy LA/Bruyneel are-I cannot picture then not "profiting" from this so called "merger"-their lawyers are sharp & probably have already secured that-what is announced is just a smoke screen
