Following the demise of the Pegasus Sports as a Pro team, Radioshack have offered places to the tried-and-trusted curmudgeonly cantankerous Aussie McEwan (who I love to bits!) and the new(ish) kid on the block Robbie Hunter.

Now this leaves me somewhat uncertain. On the one hand, I'm well chuffed that McEwen will be mixing it for yet another year.... I just wish it was with another team.

And what of Bruyneel's comment...

They are both very fast and don't need a real sprinter's train to bring them to the last kilometer.

...a reference to anyone we know? Or simple statement of fact? The latter, perhaps with a knowing wink, in my book :biggrin:

Whether we'll see McEwen in any of the GTs is another matter. Age is against him and I can't see him competing in any points competition, so I reckon the roster will be filled with younger names but I figure we'll get to see him in some of the classics.

I like Robbie too - he has attitude but Radio Shack - noooooooo!!!!

FWIW, I think Cav proved that he can win without a train last year in the end.
