A Schleck to Team Radio Shack?
https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/andy...adioshack-team
And the bidding wars have begun...
French newspaper L'Equipe seems to think so, and has linked Andy Schleck, who finished the Tour de France one step above Armstrong on the podium, to the nascent squad.

Lance would make the best domestique for these guys EVER. I was thinking about this myself several days ago. Lance would never want to play second fiddle, but he doesn't have the explosive accellerations anymore. If Lance could get the two of them to the top of the mountain, Frank could be fresher and free to trade attacks with Andy -- wow, it would be exciting.

Like you, Lance getting Andy S, on his team was the first thing I thought.
BTW IMO Andy was the strongest rider in last year's TDF.

it'd surprise me. i have the feeling lance is gunning for 1 and andy schleck made it clear he is after first as well. i would think it'd be another lance-contador if he were to go there. plus he's too attached to his brother.

Why would Andy go to Radio Shack? He already got #2 on the podium ahead of Lance. I'd think Saxo Bank would be better off getting domestiques to help Andy, instead. Too bad, Jens crashed.
Anyhow, I was happy to hear that Andy's staying with Saxo Bank. I like the Schleck Bros, Jens, Fab Fab, and the rest of the boys.

LA doesn't want to be a domestique to Schleck. LA wants to win at all costs. If he wanted to come in second or third, his best bet would be to stay with Astana.

Never say never. That's why they play the game.
Remember the '69 Mets.

Hmm. The Shack.

I guess they're doing a brand launch. Do they even sell a radio anymore?
