Johan Bruyneel has finally announced the Team Radioshack roster for 2010, which includes 26 riders from 16 countries.
“It is a well balanced team,” Johan Bruyneel said of the team that will meet for the first time in Tucson, Arizona, in mid-December.
“We have experienced riders – with some of them I worked already many years in my former teams – but we also have young talents who can develop in the perfect environment.
“I am happy that our sponsors want to invest in the future of cycling. Our main goal will be the Tour de France and other stage races but I am confident that, with these riders, we can perform very well in the one-day races as well.”
Lance Armstrong said in August that winning an 8th Tour de France title is his goal.

I hear that while the team will have their kits in time for the season, they likely will not be on sale until January or February. If you want a cool kit sooner, check out the new Livestrong kits on the Livestrong.org website.

Sean Yates I know you will be missed being part of the british team Sky is a great oppurtunity. Ace and Eki bring experience and true grit to a great team. I would like nothing else than your team to show certain elements of cycling (el Pistol and French Press) that there is no substitute for experience and the power of a synergstic team. One that truly works for each other. Big Hat no cattle, no excuse!!! Mellow Johnny you focus like only you can Johan lead them like only you can and team sacrifice like only you can. There are three places on the podium , pas de cadeaux, fill all three. Livestrong!!!

TOTALLY STOKED FOR 2010!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see the team in action. I’m joining the bandwagon on team kits… I want to see what they’re wearing and I want one under my Christmas tree!

Anyone know when the new kit is going to be unveiled? The TDU is just around the corner and I don’t think Lance is going to want to ride in an Astana kit.
