While the riders are still under contract to their respective teams, it doesn’t prevent them from participating in team training camps, hence the kaleidoscope of team colors in their first group ride. Lance Armstrong can be seen sporting the Mellow Johnny’s kit and new recruit Jason McCartney is still in his Saxo Bank jersey and shorts. One team camp rumor floating around is that due to the demise of the Olympic Pursuit, Taylor Phinney is going to turn pro for RadioShack instead of waiting till 2011. NY Velocity confirmed the sudden departure of Allen Lim from Garmin to RadioShack. Could his arrival to Shack be motivated by the prospect of working with Phinney? Hmmm…interesting…..
