Be a shame if ''the shack'' don't get a Tour invite, huh...

Looks cheap and nasty and badly designed.

You seriously expect that to happen? Don't think so


No, I don't expect it to happen. I just wouldn't be suprised if they weren't invited.

Competition for places is extremely fierce, as far as I understand neither Radio Shack, nor Sky are guaranteed a place despite being Pro-Tour teams. As I understand, only 16 of the exisiting Pro-Tour teams are guaranteed a place through the rankings etc. ASO will pick who they like, they excluded Astana/Contador last year remember, and they love Contador.

I can see a lot of reasons for ASO not to pick Radio Shack to ride, just because they have Armstrong and others, does not give them a God given right to race.

I'm not saying I want ASO not to pick Radio Shack, I'm just putting it out there that they may not be such a sure bet. It would certainly cause a huge stir, much bigger than when Astana were excluded.

Wasn't that because of the Vinokourov drug scandal they (Astana) were omitted last year?

Have you thought about a career with the UCI, Sean?

That is one way to look at it, another would be that ASO don't particularly like Johan Bruyneel et al. For reasons which I'm sure Marco will gladly go into...

[quote="marco"] red is a nice colour, looking forward to seeing lots of fat blokes in it during the summer going up boxhill.


Easy (is that term still used by the youth), I will let you know when I am out in it so you can come and admire.. :D
I'm sure just wearing the great man's kit will make us go faster.

Glad I wasn't alone in thinking this, although I though it was one of those leotards with sleeves that gymnasts use :lol: .

It appears to have an "A" and "SE" missing from within the circle
