MONTREAL - in imitation of the fusion between RadioShack and team Leopard now also SaxoBank and Astana with each other are in conversation. Where the fusion between the plough of Johan Bruyneel and Schleck-broers came about by means of bicycle manufacturer appetite, a head role plays in a possibly new fusion at the highest level Specialized.
Both Astana and SaxoBank get a considerable part of its budget by means of the bicycle manufacturer from California. By joining strengths hopes they also topformatie around triple Tourwinnaar of creating Alberto Contador, which tegenwicht can the new power block-system of Bruyneel offer. Already after the Tourrit on l Alpe d Huez are both plough with each other in conversation.

Same thing. Astana and Saxo to merge, initiated by Specialized. To 'create super team to counter TheSchlack'.
There are some interesting riders at Astana, but they're hardly going to make Saxo a new superteam, are they? mmm, or perhaps there's some super-team inflation going on :roll:
The bike manufacturer angle is an interesting one - Trek, Cervelo, BMC, Specialized, Ridley.... is this some sort of move back to the 19th Century dawn of pro cycling sponsored by bike manufacturers? Can't immediately remember a single top level team in the 1990s with bike manufacturer as title sponsor...0 -
