看來astana今年的陣容要成絕響了!
btw,在這個時間點放話似乎有點微妙?
是宣告我們明年就不會是隊友了嗎?
兄弟登山,各自努力囉!
最後演變是兄弟鬩牆,經理壁上觀?
Lance Armstrong to race Tour de France in 2010 with new Livestrong-Nike team?
Lance Armstrong dropped a bombshell on French TV when he said that not only will he race the Tour de France in 2010,
but he'll do so under a new team...most likely called the Livestrong-Nike team (or something very close to this possible name).
According to James Raia, the National Cycling Examiner who is reporting from the Tour de France,
"Armstrong, speaking with French national television Sunday following stage 9 of the Tour de France in Tarbes, said negotiations for the new team are more difficult than riding in the cycling's biggest cycling event. But he expects talks will result in a team directed by current Astana director, Johan Bruyneel, Armstrong's close friend. "
Armstrong added that there has been friction with the current team especially Albert Contador.
"I won't just sign off on third-place yet,” said Armstrong. “To be completely honest, there has been some slight friction on the team. Alberto has some aggressive ambitions; I won this race a few times so I understand."

看來astana今年...(恕刪)
早在環義開賽前夕,astana車隊面臨財務危機時,Armstrong就對外表示可能會自組車隊,當時還打算挹注資金給astana車隊,好在後來ASTANA贊助商資金順利匯入,解決了車隊財務危機。
歷經車隊主將喬不定,及環義時ASTANA車隊將車衣上的哈薩克國徽淡化處理,引發ASTANA車隊後台贊助商,哈薩克國家自行車協會的不滿,該協會副理事長更放話今年賽季結束要整頓車隊陣容,屆時Armstrong及車隊經理都將離隊。
據哈薩克國家自行車協會規劃,未來ASTANA車隊將建構一個以contador為主的車隊,車手也將以哈薩克及西班牙國籍為主,並讓contador挑選車隊車手成員
小弟之前就有發表過了
Astana車隊即將引爆茶壺裡的風暴!!
...tune不合,frequency不搭...
情境模擬:
阿姆斯壯幫Contador從後面隊車背水來,Contador接下後一飲,說出以下名言:
Contador:這水有毒.....

不過話說回來,在Astana裡頭當水壺工應該特別辛苦,別隊主將一隻,所以工作分攤著作投一休四,
Astana他們可能可能背完一趟又一趟....
這其實不只是參雜車隊內行政人員間的爭鬥, 也包括到了外部各個贊助商的商機...
哈薩克國家自行車委員會執意以Alexandre Vinokourov及Alberto Contador為新主體的結果,
一定沒有壯哥的容身之處了, 而這樣的處境看在合作多年, 從USPS到Discovery Channel,
再到現在的合作伙伴-Johan Bruyneel眼中, 顯然也是沒什麼立場再堅持什麼, 屆時一定一起走人...
倒是壯哥要組一個新車隊, 首先第一個贊助商就有了-NIKE!
他們一定張手歡迎, 因為在Discovery Channel車隊解散之後, 原本活絡的NIKE cycling市場整個下滑,
最後被迫關廠停產, 只剩下壯哥自己的LIVESTRONG品牌在NIKE旗下,
這下有新車隊, 有堅強的贊助商(NIKE+LIVESTRONG), 在加上再由Johan Bruyneel擔任車隊經理,
讓他和壯哥登高一呼, 或許年底的各車隊成員會來個大洗牌也說不定.....
包括以往壯哥在Discovery Channel的班底, 再找幾個潛力新秀,
如此堅強的陣容一擺出來, 三大賽的主辦單位為了市場和商機, 會不邀請他們???
所以小弟非常期待2010年the Livestrong-Nike team的成立...

不過可以想像, 2010年也可能是壯哥會參賽的最後一年了.....
當然, 未來他能轉任車隊行政職也是不錯的啦~~~
