Radioshack-NissanTrek soap opera

You sure you wernt getting them mixed up with Colnago? they are Irish registered

And the UCI considers them to be Brits:

oh and the GB flag on their website homepage...

Its like Farnese-Vini, they are actually registered as a british team, but class themseleves as italian

Garmin are the only "real" American team, After all, they are registered their and thats where their sponsors are from

BMC, registered in American with Swiss sponsors and referred to as a "Swiss" team

RSNT, registered in Luxembourg with American/Japanese/American sponsors

Why yes, they are. I think there's some Labrador Retriever in there too.

I still think of them as an American team, although I guess in a similar sense you could say BMC is a Swiss team.

Aren't they registered in LUX?

I don't hold any particular hatred for RSN, but I'd say they're my 3rd favorite American team, after Garmin and BMC. Of course, that's nothing new. The various iterations of RSN have just never had much in the way of charisma.

That's unfair, it's not the coalition, just the two at the top.

And even then, it's only Clegg.

The Hog's got to put Horner in now, I'd have thought. He's been to TdF several times before and is a half decent climber to support F Schleck.

Radioshack Nissan Trek Leopard Livestrong Nike Discovery Postal Mellow Jonny's is becoming a bit of a laughing stock, I agree.

In the UK we have a similarly uneasy coalition which appears to be going pear shaped.
