RadioShack Partners With Lance Armstrong to Form New Cycling Team in 2010
sourced by alia_d
Lance Armstrong is now a Team Radio Shack star. In 2010, Team Radio Shack will sponsor the American ProTour squad for Tour de France. Lance Armstrong is the first confirmed member of the Team Radio Shack Tour de France Team. Lance Armstrong will also compete under Team Radio Shack's name in other cycling, running and triathlete events.
In a video statement disseminated through his Web site, Armstrong pointed out that cyclists rely on the kind of products that RadioShack sells at its outlets around the country.
"Technology is so important in what we do as a cycling team and now as a society, and I can't think of a better partner to help us progress the team," Armstrong said.
Armstrong also supports Team Radio Shack because Team Radio Shack sponsors the Livestrong campaign against cancer. Armstrong dedicated his 2009 Tour de France race to the battle against cancer.

This is great news. With Johan Bruyneel leaving Astana this year too we can all build a 'dream team' in our minds. Lance Armstrong may or may not finish on the podium Sunday, but he sure has revitalized the Tour.
