popular thread...

Doesn't seem to be a popular team here.

I wonder if JB/LA et al are awareof how their treatment of AC has soured many people on RS before it even started.

I was sort of meh about LA before 2009. Wasn't crazy about him coming back but I actually (and naively thought) he'd ride for AC in the TDF. Gullible I know.

After 2009, I have a serious dislike for team LA.

Some more RadioShack behind the scenes video

I was wondering when some people would attempt to derail this - for some reason I doubt we would have had the pleasure of a similar post for a behind the scenes with Caisse d'Epargne - perhaps I am wrong though.

Thanks to GW for posting the press day and training ride. Personally, I thought it was interesting enough to watch. Since I lived in Tucson for three years I was looking for landmarks and attempting to see where they were riding, perhaps someone could mention the route they took.

Thanks dim, agreed it's very bland. i was digging through some old stuff and i found a radioshack walkie talkie which i was given about 10 years ago. Can any american's tell me if Radioshack is one of the big electronics brands over there?

Yeh i think it's pretty good to see the behind the scenes of any team really.

Funny that in the CN articles and now this video, Daryl Impey is just NEVER happy. Always crossing his arms, head down, frowned look on his face - cheer up fella!! looks like this -> :mad:

About the bike, c'mon guys, it's not about the bike :p;)..

kidding, it looks a bit wierd, i doubt it's the team bike, perhaps just a promo kind of thing for the press. i liked the paint job on the Astana Treks, it looked very streamlined, so i assume they will do the same for the RS bikes, but with red and grey

The style is quite busy, but I like it. It's of the moment.

How much would one of those set you back then?

Whatever color is on the front rim tends to make me a little ill - perhaps this is a scientifically designed bike to weaken the other teams :D
