2011 Team RadioShack Team Kit
The 2011 Team RadioShack Team kit has been unveiled. I don't think it's as cool as those black jerseys that they wore the final day of the Tour de France.
But I do think these are neat. And should stand out in the peloton.

Lance Armstrong RadioShack commercials
These Lance Armstrong RadioShack commercials have been playing for a while now, but I just saw the LOL one today for the first time. I think they are pretty funny. Hope you enjoy.
Oh, and the last video is basically Brandon on a bike.

Black RadioShack 28 jersey
In case you missed the news about the Tour de France, on the final day of the race, Team RadioShack came out not wearing their normal kits. Instead they were wearing black RadioShack jerseys with the number 28 on the back.
The 28 stood for the 28 million people worldwide that are battling cancer.
Rules are rules and Team RadioShack was forced to change into their normal kits. But it was too late, the publicity stunt was complete and everyone was talking about those black 28 jerseys.
Well RadioShack just announced that you will soon be able to purchase your own. Through the teams website. The jerseys will be available in August.
Watch the short feature Team RadioShack did for 28:

Lance Armstrong's final Tour de France
Today Lance Armstrong sent out a Tweet that had a lot of meaning in it.
lancearmstrong: And yes, this will be final Tour de France. It’s been a great ride. Looking forward to three great weeks.
Noticing a spelling error, he then added: Doh, sorry, meant “my” final Tour.
The seven-time Tour de France winner, who is 38, will lead his RadioShack teammates in the Tour which starts on Saturday.
Monday’s announcement comes just one month after the Texan found himself embroiled in new doping allegations, dismissing accusations leveled by his former teammate Floyd Landis.
Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title after a positive drug test, pointed the finger at numerous cyclists, including Armstrong. Armstrong was quick to attack Landis’ credibility.
Armstrong beat cancer in 1998, then went on to win seven consecutive yellow jerseys from 1999-2005. He then retired, but then returned to the sport last year. Armstrong placed third at the 2009 Tour.
This year he finished second in the Tour of Switzerland and third in the Tour of Luxembourg. He crashed out of the Tour of California on home soil in May.
Armstrong will line up at this year’s Tour with a team that includes former Tour runner-up Andreas Klöden of Germany, Americans Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner, plus several other experienced stage race campaigners.
We'll keep you updated on the Tour as it gets going this weekend.

Armstrong responds to Landis
I wrote early today about how Floyd Landis finally came clean about doping in the past.
Well, Lance Armstrong had this to say on his twitter page:
Just spoke to the press here in Visalia. The transcription of my comments will be on www.teamradioshack.com soon. Thanks.
