    Looks horribly Rapha-esque doesn't it?

    Awesome website :roll:

    Have they announced the title sponsor yet ?? I'm sure I read somewhere it was going to be Mercedes.

    it is just a holding page so can't moan too much, better to have a hold page rather than a load of dead menu's and links

    but, yeah, I can see the £300 socks from here...

    Mercedes will be providing their cars etc.

    My understanding is they won't have a "sponsor" in a traditional sense.

    Where will the money be coming from to pay wages etc. then?

    A very rich man.

    There could be a sponsors name, or a few. I've heard there will be 6 names attached but l'equipe reported it would be called "Lux Pro Team" or something . But perhaps it'll be called Leopard?

    Interesting, thanks.

    I wonder if Cancellera will be moving?

    Andy Schleck says no.

    Nygaard says they've got some surprises.

    Chinny's mechanic is there.

    So he's at Lux, BMC or Pegasus.

    Nice to see Rasmussen back in the ProTour

    Thought exactly that myself when I saw it, great looking climb but I haven't a clue.

    Its the Stelvio innit ? I fancy doing that on the Drei Laender challenge ride.

    It's neither the Tourmalet or the Stelvio.

    I think it's one of the Swiss climbs, given the engineering on the corners and would guess at it being the Furka Pass as I don't recognise it and that's one I've not ridden.

    Thought it might have been somewhere in Luxembourg. Looks great and added to my dream list of places to ride

    Do you think they toyed with the name Cheetahs?


    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Either these fellas or Team Leopard (really?) have got the photo the wrong way round.

    Maybe Andy Schleck's mechanic doubles up as the webmaster during the winter? :wink:
