It looks like their going to be one of the strongest teams in the peleton next year:

Along with the Schleck's, Maxime Monfort and Wouter Weylandt they have just signed Linus Gerdemann,Fabian Wegmann and Jakob Fuglsang. With Cancellara expected to join too.

I despise everything about this team. The Schlecks - please don't race I fallen off my bike/mychain has dropped/i spilt my milk. FO.
Furthermore is anyone else sick and tired of the cliché that is Jens Voight.
I could only hate this team more if the had George Hcnapie in it.

I hope Bertie gets off scot free, if only to wipe the smirk from this team.

They came across as very genuine in Chasing Legends.
Both gave the impression that they understood that bike racing is just their passion and not their lives.
Two of the biggest legends in the sport IMO.

How is Jens Voigt a cliche?

I dunno personally I don't see the hype over Big George, he was supposed to be this big american classics rider, yet he's never really delivered, that's just my personal opinion on Big George. He also seems to make some strange team moves as well.

Yes, being FUCKING AWESOME is such a cliché.

I too am tiring of Voigt plagerising the same lines you hear the great athletes in the Premier League craft in interviews on Match of the Day after another gut busting 90 minutes.

I hope so to,this new team are useing trek bikes with shimano di2.Is thats what its called.So Andy cant drop his chain ever again.I really hope Contador doesn't get banned.Jens Voigt is a cool guy,but I would still love to see this new team get destroyed by Contador.

Don't forget that Frank seems to think it's ok to pay 10k to Spanish Gynaecologist for "training advice" (Dr Fuentes of Puerto of Puerto fame).

That said I'm not too keen to see Beefy Bert back too soon.

Would love to see a breakthrough from the likes of Porte or Martin (Dan or Tony).

the luxemborg cycling team is starting to look a lot like SaxoBank, just without Bjarne Riis... Andy and Frank were the leaders at SB, and are still leaders of their new team, so why did they bother moving??
