What happened to the Schleck new team?

Was I imagining it, or did I read somewhere during this year, that the Schleck brothers were planning to start a new Pro team? Luxembourg based?
If I remember awry, apologies. If I remember correctly, what happened?

In the light of this years unfortunate events, they've had to hurriedly push through a re-think of their team that was going to be called 'Team Lucky L' (for Luxembourg), with the team strap-line "The Luck of The Luxembourgish" also up for a revamp.
Despite depicting their brotherly love, the mountains bathed in yellow and their inspirational core message of the "Four 'L's" ("Luck", "Love", "Life" and "Light") being worked into the proposed design for their team kit, I suspect this will need some work too...
The storm seems to have past though with Johan Bruyneel gone (although he is still a major shareholder in the team methinks), and there was also a serious spanner thrown in the works by Schleck Senior's misdemenour.
Clubber Lang: "Prediction?"
Reporter: "Yes. Prediction"
Clubber Lang: "....Pain!!!"
(The swastika thing, that is.)
Anyway, here's a link from July this year: http://road.cc/content/news/60853-schle ... -gerdemman
"Andy and Fränk Schleck are reportedly set to leave RadioShack-Nissan alongside team mates Jens Voigt and Linus Gerdemann and directeur sportif Kim Andersen to join a proposed Germany-based team for the 2013 season. Trek is said to have been lined up as bike sponsor."
It's hardly a big deal, I was only wondering, vaguely, as one does.

Cool story bro.
Deutschland is happy and gay!
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
Isn't that what Tom Hanks says at the beginning of the Dan Brown film (the name escapes me!).
offensive and childish.
So offensive you just quoted it all again.
Would you be the same Vino'sGhost who made creepy remarks towards Tusher, antagonised many Scottish forumites with puerile comments about accents and ended posts with a silly "ave calves", etc?
And as the guardian of delicate sensibilities you may also remember this exchange from the Vuelta Stage 17**Spoiler** thread...
Nice one. I haven't seen much of Poppit since that charming comment.
I think it was worth quoting for posterity.
With the Schlecks (who I'm quite fond of), it struck me that they've had such an unfortunate year that I imagined the hapless duo even managing to censored -up their team log/kit design with the most dreadful faux-pas with what was historically a good luck emblem (before the Nazis appropriated it) ... what sort of damn-fool got the impression that I was implying anything else!?!
I'll apologise, though, to anyone else who wasted the 8 seconds it took to read it; because it wasn't particularly funny (although the idea of Andy riding with the word "LUCKY" across his back and chest makes me smile - imagine the photo opportunities: him looking nervous on a wet descent; outside the team bus pre/post-stage explaining his hopes/regrets; on the 2nd step yet again...).
How about a deal: more funny - less stupid? Who's game?
edit: never mind
