A British road team finally announced today, by Brailsford, sponsored by SKY from 2010 for 4 years. Looking to gain an immediate entry for Le Tour.

Cannot see Cav putting his eggs in that basket unless he gets the best lead out train around, although Brailsford admitted there will be international riders too.

Who else they going to propel to stardom ? Is there any up and coming big stars? Brailsford doesn’t just do things on a whim, there must be some big signatures on some big future contracts!!!

“Team Sky is aiming to:

• Create the first British winner of the Tour de France, within five years.
• Inspire people of all ages and abilities to get on their bikes, through the team’s positive profile, attitude and success.
• Add further support to competitive cycling in Great Britain. “

Oooh, did he just say that? Big words to live up to!

 If they do have Cav does that not spread the resources around at the expense of a good Tour GC position?

All VERY exciting (still not gonna sign up for SKY though!!)
