There have been rumors flying around about a Leopard Trek/RadioShack merger over the past few weeks. Monday, these rumors were confirmed and the two teams will create RadioShack-Nissan-Trek. This is a huge merger and I'm sure Bruyneel is excited to have young GT contenders after some poor results in GTs over the past couple of years with RadioShack.
So far, some of the riders that will be on the team will include Cancellara, the Schlecks, Kloden, Horner, Brajkovic, Zubeldia, Fuglsang and Bennati. It seems like this will be a strong all-around team in short stage races, one day classics and grand tours, but it might have the potential to create a situation with too many chiefs (may need to wait and see which other riders sign).
Thoughts?
