What I’ve gathered from various on-line sources and translating from European sites this is the RadioShack team so far. Obviously, it is a team designed to contest the Tour de France. Armstrong and Leipheimer at this point look to be the GC riders. However if Kloden is able to break free from his Astana contract look for him to come aboard and be a leader in some capacity as well. The rest of the team looks to be comprised of capable domestics like Jason McCartney, Chris Horner and Gregory Rast and a mix of fresh blood from Trek-Livestrong team, which is the feeder squad. The only question marks that remain is who is going to be able to break their Astana contract and join RadioShack? One key rider still tied up contractually to Astana  and has been Armstrong’s key lieutenant in his Tour de France victories is Yaroslav Popovych.

    Correction Needed — “capable domestics like Jason McCartney” and he is very, very capable…good team player who can take care of the captains and blow-up a peloton as needed.

    Is tier any truth to haimar zubedia, gregory rast, andreas kloden and johan bruneel not being part of team radio shack. Also is tier any chance that floyd landis could ride for the team, as I think it would be a great addition.
