Good Luck to them. It was nice to see that it was a Texas company.

Does Radio Shack still ask for your name and address for cash transactions? I used to say "Janet Jackson" because it was easy to remember.

Exactly! I haven't been in a RS in years, but my abiding memory is of them asking for my address when buying batteries. Um, why?

Yay! I'm trying to support cycling sponsors, and Radio Shack is an easy one (nearby, and I can always find something useful there).

Astana is already negotiating to keep Contador. I wonder if Levi and Popo will jump ship?

Why in the world is this being announced now, while the TDF is still going on? Isn't there any kind of respect for the current teams and the race itself? Totally uncool.
Oh, of course, how could I be so naive? Make a splash while the Tour is still on because the minute it's over, the US "fans" forget about cycling until next year.
Great, whatever, but really tacky in terms of timing.

I've been under the impression that there has been really no real Team Astana for a while now - I heard that they weren't even making the payroll... Originally Posted by Aggie_Ama

Vinokourov announced sometime around the beginning of the Tour that he's coming back to "his" team and that if Brunyeel didn't like it, then Brunyeel would be the one to go. Based on that, this isn't at all surprising. And I'd bet that none of the big names currently on the team would want to ride with Vino, so Radioshack's basically got a ready-made roster. Personally, I'm withholding my excitement until there's word of who signs, especially since I don't think there's been mention of where Johann plans to go. Will he end up going with Lance?
There was mention earlier this week, too, that Contador has been in talks with a new Spanish-based team that's forming.
And the timing doesn't surprise me, either. This seems to be the time of year that contracts get renewed or riders go looking. There were a lot of similar announcements during the last few tours, though maybe none of quite this magnitude.
This is just one more thing to make this TdF interesting
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
