Soooo I guess you guys wont have selected RSN as one of your 3 teams in the HubTDF compo?

 

Some seriously good riders in that team.

Radioshack is a very good team and will do good in the tour ,even without Johan and Andy

210 plus votes and Wiggo is the hot favourite.

 

Here's a nice analysis.

@ gummibear,

What do you think led to Horner's inclusion and Fugslang's exit...

An argument between management and the riders.Jakob had his say and management didn't like it.

Jakob is on top form and will ride circles around Horner.

JB has told Jakob that he won't ride another race in 2012 for Radioshack.Looks like he is goinf to Saxobank in 2013.

Yeah, I think RSN and now Bruyneel are fast becoming a bit of an embarrassment to the sport.

 

.......and how they can be serious about Horner for GC is quite beyond me, I will be surprised if he makes top 20 to be honest.

Despite my extreme dislike of both the Texan and his Belgium puppet master I think the creation of this team after the nightmare at Astana was a huge mistake. Trek then tried to get some value for their sponsorship in an extremely poorly thought through merger/take over of the Leopard guys.

 

What a failure that has been. Clearly no self respecting "modern" cyclist is prepared to put up with JB's approach. It would be interesting to chat to Robbie Hunter about his year at the shack.

 

And to think Bob Stapleton couldn't find a sponsor for Highroad and left the sport while JB is able to continue. Says a huge amount about corporate America.

He'll make an impressive teammate, alongside 'Berto.

"It’s the job of the media to talk about these things. That’s their job and that’s what they do. I would say and I hope that no body on the team is going to kill me but I would have to say we as a team did too much talking publicly. There was too much talk about twitter, and interviews. We could have done that a little better..."
