Team RadioShack

RadioShack hasn't changed a lot, so the team will stay a strong competitor also in 2011. Eye-catcher is and will be Lance Armstrong.

After his collapse in the 2010 Tour de France, where an eighth overall victory turned out to be a bridge too far, Lance Armstrong's second life in cycling seemed to have come to an end. The great American will however continue for a while in the team that was built around him. The Tour Down Under is already in January his main goal of the season. After that he will focus on his biggest challenge of 2011. Armstrong, a promising triathlete when he was young, is determined to perform in the world-famous Ironman triathlon.

In his RadioShack team this means that there will be plenty of opportunities for stage race riders like Levi Leipheimer, Andreas Klöden and Janez Brajkovic. Sprinter Robbie McEwen is a surprising newcomer.
