Totally agree.
I guess that they have supplied 3 teams before. With HTC gone there was room for 1 more.
True. But all through last year I was thinking that with the three teams it seemed like they were only getting two team's worth of value. It is getting a bit late now for surprise announcements, it has to be said. I suppose there's an element of wishful thinking here. Disappointed to lose Merckx. I guess I'm a bit old fashioned in liking 'national' teams on local brands. Euskaltel-Euskadi on Orbea; perfect.
Spesh supplying the bikes then?
Apologies if this has been covered but I have been out if the loop since the vuelta finished.
Well, yes, it does rather look like Big S will be supplying three teams; 'new' Omega Pharma-Quickstep, Astana and Saxo Bank-Sungard which does seem odd so we're quietly predicting there will some sort of surprise announcement with one of the latter two teams actually on the brink of announcing a tie-up elsewhere. Just a hunch. Been wrong before, covering my ass etc etc...
Bland and Boring just like their estranged ex partners...

At least their shorts and jersey match. Not sure what Lotto are doing.
Euskaltel euskadi for me. The easiest team to follow in the peleton. Not sure I could get away with wearing the kit myself though...
Liquigas with lurid green rocks! I do like the muted tones of the Leopard and all the rest strips but does make it hard to tell them apart from a distance on the telly, which can't be what the sponsors want!!
The shorts are almost identical to leopard trek.
Although that shouldn't matter now they are no more, not seen the new "Radio-Schleck" team kit yet though.
Not sure about this...
So, so bland
Isn't the green the new fashion in cycling?
I am waitign for some green, god dammit!
Oh, wait.. GreenEdge![4](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/4.gif)
The Chinese fake websites have spoken and they think Greenedge is going to be white...
Subtle changes to Vacansoleil, but still a top jersey
2013 will surely see a Omega Pharma-Quick-Step-Sungard-Leopard Trek-Saxobank with a kit very closely resembling this one and others.
It's the same colours as the now defunct Leopard team - wonder what their new kit will be like as Radioshack wore red![39](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/39.gif)
Mmmm, very...... Saxo Bank.
