George to the LoveShack...

[rich p]

Good on you Big George!!!

he cant have too many Tours left in him and probably relishes the prospect of riding with Lance one last time.

Big George has been good for Lance maybe Lance is just thanking him back with a MASSIVE contract.

The Shack will dominate next year. I am excited to see what the team will look like!

It'll look all the other LA teams, Kenny, full of people who suddenly perform above themselves, never fail a dope test and dedicated to HRH to the exclusion of everyone else!

Damn. Team Shack have nobbled Google.

Either that or Armstrong is responsible for infections in our hospitals - and I am sure even the most vehement Lance-hater wouldn't suggest that is the case

cant wait to buy the new Team Shack cycle kit! wonder when it will be out.

Were you looking for Livestrong kit too?

Kenny, I've just remembered that I have a pair of Lance's old underpants I bought off ebay a while ago. He actually wore them on every Champs Elysee stage of his 7 victories. I'm willing to let you have them for a £1000 - they're black with yellow stains highlights

Indeed, why is it so yellow?

Who knows? Que cera, cera as they say

Armstrong wore pants under his bibs! Forget the doping allegations, NOW we know the secret of his success - lucky underpants!

He didn't wear them all the time Andrew - only briefly.

Really?? An even older Lance and George - who mainly worked on the flat for Cav this year - against the best climber in the world by a country mile (Bertie) and the best TTer in this year's tour (Bertie) who will have a team working for him rather than against him like he did this year.

Face it - Lance was a good rider 6 or 7 years ago.

Today Bertie kicks his ass in every discipline required to win a GT

Next year the gap will only have grown

Bertie is a GREAT rider - however I am yet to be convinced that Astana will be invited back to the Tour next year if Vino is Back. I am also yet to be convinced that bertie will get to be team leader if Vino is back, regardless of what has been released to the press.

Places on next years Tour are limited and with team Sky and the Shack coming to the fore.....it's bye bye Astana!!!!


Preditcion -

Next Year Lance and Radioshack for Le Tour with No bertie to contend. Lance will retire and the sign up the Schleck brothers for 2011 and Andy will then dominate the Grand Tours for 3-4 years under the watchful of eye of the Great Johan Brunyeel and the even greater Lance... IMO of course

Yeah rich - spoke to Livestrong and they are trying to get an outlet in Uk for the gear just now. I am also looking for the Mellow Jonny's Bike shop kit.

I suppose the Trek U23 black AND white kits will have to do me for the time being.

Lances pants.....i'll give you £900 for them?

Bertie will move to Caisse D'Epaigne I reckon with the shadow over Valverde - I agree he won't stay at Astana. He'll be at next year's TDF though with a united team behind I'm sure

 

[akaAndrew]

kenny, I doubt very much that Contador will be at Astana next year. There is no shortage of teams interested in him and they'll be watching developments with keen interest. In fact, I suspect a deal has already been done, in principle.
