Anyone notice that this year the radioshack team is tearing up the road? contending for the win in every race, even beppu was present for a while in flanders. I think Kloden and co getting out from under lance is the best thing they could have done.

Without Lance, there never would have been a Radio Shack team in the first place. I don't think they've "gotten out from under him"--it's not as if they took a vote and kicked Lance out. There was always the understanding (I thought) that he would use his celebrity and influence to help form the team and bring it to prominence and then re-retire and leave the team intact.

Im just happy for them as the results seem to be rolling in alot more than when the team centered around lance, Kloden hasnt even come close to winning anything since like 06 and this year hes already almost won 1 race.

It has been impressive to watch. The team seems to have a bunch of weapons to deploy in any situation. The only problem is, they don't have a WMD to destroy the competition with. Everybody is riding solid, but doesn't seem likely any of them would be capable of competing for the TdF, had they been invited.

In fact, it could be their tour snub that is allowing them to focus on these early season races. Either way, in my mind, Lance being gone really shows of the strength of his "lieutenants."
