Taylor Phinney remains on squad, half of roster to change for 2010
Lance Armstrong’s Trek-Livestrong team will act as a feeder squad for Team RadioShack in the coming years, with the U23 team already confirming that half the roster will change for 2010. Speaking to team director Axel Merckx at the Interbike Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Belgian outlined the team’s plans for next year.
“RadioShack will be a sponsor [of the Under-23 team] for next year. We’ll share some responsibilities and for me it’s also great to have Johan Bruyneel as a sounding board for advice. Also, we can use the service course in Belgium and they can use our services in the US. We’ll still be two different teams but what we’re trying to produce are two riders that will move up to their team and develop every year,” Merckx said.
“It will be interesting how the team evolves in the next couple of years. It’s been really exciting for me.”
