Making a very cool announcement on Thursday re: a new American partner for our team in 2010 (and beyond). Stay tuned!"

Any predictions?

I say x2 on nike.  Ugh now nike will begin making bike clothing and jack up the price of everything else in that industry.  Or make the price lower driving out the competition and making horribe products.

They already made bike stuff... Then stopped.

Could it be that much more expensive than other bike clothes anyway? Seems like everyone makes varying levels of price/quality.

I never had any experience with any of their old stuff personally, but I heard some of it was pretty good.

Yeah, lower prices on stuff would really suck. That, and driving the competition to actually compete on price. Horrible.

I hope it has something to do with Cancer, like a medical company or cancer drug or something.

My favourite pair of knicks are nike ones and they really are at the point where I cant/shoudlnt wear them in public anymore... werent cheap either.... I thinkthey were around the $150+ mark

Would be great if they resurrected their old line...

But....I prefer the medical/cancer angle.... would make more sense for Lance surely?

Having Livestrong attached to the team is cool... but having Big Pharm sponsor Lance may just be a little too much. I always snicker when I see some drug commercial spouting off a bunch of side effects and then encouraging you to go tell your doctor that you need some of what they're selling. Heck, they'll even let you get hooked with a free sample.

So, yeah, I must say I'd much rather see a Livestrong/Nike/Trek team, than Team Eli Lilly, or something like that. (Im sure the French media would be all over the Big Pharma/doping angle too.)

I agree with the prediction of Nike Livestrong. Nike probably gets top billing since it'll be paying the bills.

Now the next bit of speculation is who makes up the team? Does AC stick around? Johan? Kloden almost certainly.

AC is only 26 years old, like it or not he's going to be around for awhile, and Bruyneel would probably not want to have him on some other team.

Most Nike products aren't worth the price, I stopped buying them. The just put their name and logo on anything and jack up the price, don't think they conduct any independent product testing.

Armstrong denied its Nike on TV today... so maybe a pharmaceutical. I think one possibility may be Pfizer - they'll help you get it up the Alpe D'Huez....

I also heard Madoff is using his money to help lance out.

you must be kidding... I don't know how I can take this seriously.  Its almost like NASCAR now.  Will lance in a few years get off his bike and at the press conference say, "I'd like to thank Budweiser, RadioShack, Amazon, Nike, Livestrong foundation for their excellent team work today."

Who really cares about the name it is more about who is on the team I envision Lance and Levi perhaps Hincapie. There are rumours that Lance has been wooing Cavendish and Tony Martin. Not sure about everyones contracts though.
At least we can be sure there will not be the Lance vs Alberto team leader controversy.
