Who Deserves to Be on Team Radioshack

With Lance Armstrong forming the new Team Radioshack and cyclists already joining his team, I look at who deserves to be on his team. These cyclists add new dimensions to Lance's team that no team in the history of cycling has ever put together. They might not be the individuals who join Armstrong's team, but they definitely would make Team Radioshack the team-to-beat.

Lance Armstrong

Still one of the best cyclists in the world- if not the best- Armstrong looks for a change of scenery, creating his own team.

Andy Schleck

Second place finisher in this year's Tour de France, Schleck will be the definite leader of the team after Armstrong retires in a year or two.

Levi Leipheimer

A good friend of Armstrong, Leipheimer is a talented rider and a lock to make the team.

George Hincapie

Is an extremely important person, as he is the only rider to assist Armstrong in all seven of his Tour de France victories. Also, is a talented sprinter.

Andreas Kloden

Extremely talented cyclist, who is selfless enough to be a domestique. Kloden is another important member of this team.

Carlos Sastre

Has previous experience winning the Tour de France as he won the 2008 race. He didn't have the best performance in this year's Tour, but he is still an elite cyclist.

Christian Vandevelde

Another extremely talented domestique, who has prior experience helping Armstrong win the yellow jersey.

Franco Pellizotti

One of the best climbers in cycling, Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey in this year's Tour.

Mark Cavendish

Top sprinter in the world, would give Armstrong's team additional points and an added dimension.

Taylor Phinney

Development rider on Armstrong's Youth Trek-Livestrong team, Phinney could be the heir apparent to Armstrong. For now, he could be plugged in for different smaller races throughout the season.
