[...] Turning Team Astana into Team LiveStrong would be easy to do. You’re on the team, and you have the money. Back in September, I even postulated that this is what you would (and should) do. [...]

[...] with me, and one I still believe would make a lot of sense is one that was put forward by the Fat Cyclist. The theory was that instead of joining a team, Lance would be forming a new one – Team LiveStrong. [...]

I think you’re on to something here. In fact, I’d say you’re probably dead on.

[...] is scheduled to announce his team tomorrow. Elden over at Fat Cyclist has a theory that Lance will create his own team. Sounds good to me, so I’ll do my part to move a theory [...]

The only blow I can see against your lead-pipe-cinch theory is the date of the announcement. If he can announce on 9/24 – surely he could announce it on a date with a bunch more significance for him – 10/2

What about a relationship with High Road instead of Astana? He wants to do the same sort of things they advertise (clean sport, open doors), and they’ve got Hincapie. It’s an American team–Crucial to the US fan–and I don’t see any major conflicts between his sponsors and theirs.

Hi Fatty

I rode in the “Tour De Woodside” with my fatcyclist.com Jersey on yesterday. I got a ton of shout outs plus a lot of people asking about the Jersey. I was proud to show everyone the checklist inside the pocket and share your story. Thanks for doing all you do!

Oh and…I’ve been boycotting the Tour De France by not watching it these past couple of years. Team Livestrong may actually bring me back.

Fatty, you’re a genius – this surely is exactly what’s going to be announced on Wednesday.

As for an all-yellow kit upsetting the TdF organisers, Saunier-Duval got away with it:

Re: Livestrong team colors and what to wear on the TdF: is Saunier Duval can wear yellow kit, then the Livestrong team would be able to wear yellow kit.

But, as someone posted above, the coolest Livestrong jerseys and gear come in black with yellow highlights. The only draw-back I can see is riding in all black during the heat of July in Southern France. Call me crazy, but that does NOT sound like fun.

This will be interesting to see play out, to be sure!

WIN SUSAN!!!
