Here's the RadioShack team to date for 2010, according to several cycling sites:

Lance Armstrong (Astana), Janez Brajkovic (Astana), Ben Hermans (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator), Christopher Horner (Astana), Markel Irizar (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Levi Leipheimer (Astana), Nikolas Maes (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator), Sergio Paulinho (Astana), Grégory Rast (Astana), Sébastien Rosseler (Quick Step), Ivan Rovny (Katusha), Jose Rubiera (Astana), Gert Steegmans (Katusha), Tomas Vaitkus (Astana)

The signing of Gert Steegmans, is interesting. Though I have no idea what was or wasn't expected at Katusha

"You won't believe what happens next"

the helicopter that's been chasing him finally lands and the pilot asks him to pee in a test tube?

[Scott]

Actually this is what happens next:

Surely even an idiot could deal with a puncture...couldn't they?

[quote="Dombo"]And when do you think LA last fixed one?

[Dombo]

Hope he's got an inflating tool like mine, then.
A few good strokes of that full length shaft and he'll be rock hard and raring to go...erm...I'll stop now...

We won't get into the controversy around Lance's use of pacers to help him beat poor old Dave Wiens

[Scott]

I've just had a response to an email I sent the organisers of the Leadville and they welcome overseas riders. I fancy a pop at it! Sylv you in?

[Grahame]

How about making a holiday of it?

Assuming I'm not guiding for a company next year, we could go out for a week or so of riding some of my favourite Colorado trails as acclimatisation before the ride, then you could do the race (I'll be pit boss 'cos I don't do racing anymore), then a few more days of fun, flowy singletrack before coming home.

How does that sound?

[Scott]

That sounds wicked!! If the idea has legs and a few are up for it then count me in.

[Sylv]

Yep i was thinking watching the trailer it would be an awesome thing to do.

Would be up for a road trip. Don't know exactly where and when this race yet. If possible what I would love would be to combine it with a trip to the Bonneville Speed week, and/or a big Hot Rod event.

Leadville 100 (14/08/10) ------------400 miles---------> Bonneville Speed week (14-20/08/10)
