Lance Armstrong’s new Team RadioShack has confirmed its lineup ahead of the upcoming 2010 season.

Seven-time Tour de France winner Armstrong will be joined by 26 riders from 16 different countries to help in his attempt to win an eighth Tour de France.

It is a well balanced team,” says Johan Bruyneel, who guided Armstrong to everyone of his Tour victories. “We have experienced riders – with some of them I worked already many years in my former teams – but we also have young talents who can develop in the perfect environment. I am happy that our sponsors want to invest in the future of cycling.

“Our main goal will be the Tour de France and other stage races but I am confident that, with these riders, we can perform very well in the one-day races as well. I look forward to the new season with Team RadioShack and our first training camp.”

Title sponsor RadioShack Corporation looks forward to the 2010 season as well.  “Johan and Lance have methodically assembled an enviable team of riders and staff as strong as any on the Pro Tour, and we are confident that Team RadioShack is positioned for tremendous success in 2010,” adds Lee Applbaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of RadioShack Corporation.
