Yesterday, we reviewed some of the off road drama going on at the Tour de France regarding post race sponsorships and what will happen to the currently dominant Team Astana. Today, a website featuring Armstong under the name Team RadioShack was launched and with more announcement expected today and in the next week.
Team RadioShack? What an odd pairing with cycling. It makes me want to break out the old 7-Eleven aor Coors Light team jerseys for the proper amount of irony. Still, I know an awful like of cyclists who geek out on bike components so maybe it’s not so far off.
