All the best to Team Radio Shack, see you guys in next year’s Tour De France!

I usually write my blogposts in Dutch but I felt, I should write this one in English.

Eating a terrific pasta I was looking today’s summary of Tour De France on the news. They repeated a rumour about Google sponsoring Johan Bruyneel’s and Lance Armstrong’s new team. Which is to be announced tomorrow. I suddenly realised something: a while ago Larry Page, Google CEO did visit Belgium.

I decided to go in @johanbruyneel’s twitter history and noticed something interesting. Only the day before (June 16) he took a plane to Brussels for a meeting. Returning the same evening to Madrid.

Now why would they both be in Brussels on June 17? this is too much of a coincidence: Google will be sponsoring a cycling team. At least that’s what the tweets are telling me…

Edit: Dailies Het Nieuwsblad and De Standaard say Radio Shack will be the new sponsor. better luck next time! :-)

Edit 2: go and follow @teamradioshack, good luck to @johanbruyneel and @lancearmstrong!
