I did not think that they where still going!

Well, that's 'JOB DONE' for LA and 2009 then....doesn't matter where he finishes now - he's got a deal, and he's proven that he can be a valued member of Team RadioshackLivestrong!

what the hells radio shack...?

You'll find it in pretty much every city in America. It is an up-market/more sophisticated cross between Maplin and CurrysDigital (Dixons) but still cheap.

 

[Priscilla Parsley]

not bovved,except the suggestion on the announcement that armstrong will do triathlons. LETS GO!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Sounds a bit crap though, doesn't it?

Employees of radio shack set up a website called 'radioshacksucks' to vent their anger and frustration at how the company is run.

Seems like it's a grim place to work. But who cares? It's a powerful brand and that's all that matters...

Years ago Tandy used to sell products with the RadioShack brand name

That could apply to more than just the named sponsor...

I particularly liked this quote from the BBC report...

RadioShack's chief marketing officer Lee Applbaum said: "As one of the greatest athletes of our generation, a father, a cancer survivor, and a tireless advocate in the fight against cancer, Lance understands the power of keeping people connected, and that's why we feel he's the perfect partner for our brand."

So there you go. Armstrong is the "perfect partner" for cheap, allegedly shoddy electrical equipment... a compliment indeed.
