We could possibly be in for a super boring time with only RSNTP Cycling Team winning.
Nah, I think BMC is gonna kick some more azzz in 2012.
And, of course, Liquigas is showing good consistent results.

Often, the star-loaded teams appear invincible on paper.

Eurosport guys were talking about it yesterday during the Vuelta, and the 'rumour' was on Cycling News as well

Seems a right mess this merger: and they way they dropped Mercedes Benz(who were supposed to have a two year contract with L-T)is not going to leave them or other sponsors positively disposed to the sport. And the teams: who have not even been told what's going on, whilst they in the midst of a grand tour.

Just think about all those LT team frames that will be going on sale soon.One reason why i don't buy a team bike.

I will be able to tell you on Wednesday where O Grady will be riding for sure.

One good thing is that they are still Lux based :D

Hunter returns to Garmin-Cervélo

"RadioShack's Robert Hunter has confirmed that he will return to his former Garmin-Cervélo team having signed a two-year contract that will expire at the end of the 2013 season. The South African says he and American sprinter Tyler Farrar have mutually agreed to work together during the sprints next year."
