Robbie McEwen and Robbie Hunter have signed for the American RadioShack team after they were left high and dry with the implosion of the Australian Pegasus Sports team earlier this week.
RadioShack team founder and seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong announced the news via his Twitter microblogging account on Thursday night, "Hey @mcewenrobbie and @RobbieHunter, welcome to @TeamRadioShack!!" he said. A statement announcing the pair's signing was also released on the team's website.
"The two Robbie's fit perfectly in our group, which is a mixture of experienced and young riders," RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel said in a statement.
"I feel sad for the riders and staff of the Pegasus project, but most of the riders deserve to race at the highest level of professional cycling. I am happy to have been able to offer two of the guys that opportunity. Moreover, we can really use both riders; they are real finishers and winners.
"They are both very fast and don't need a real sprinter's train to bring them to the last kilometre. They are 'self-sufficient' and will also be a wealth of knowledge for our young riders."
Australian McEwen and South African Hunter were left without a viable professional contract after the Pegasus Sports team failed to first secure a top-level ProTeam licence and then a second-tier Professional Continental registration from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). A lack of first or second tier licence effectively ruled the team out from any top-level races.
The UCI revealed on Thursday that the failure of the team to qualify for both ProTeam and Pro Continental status was down to a lack of financial guarantees from team management. The UCI described the ambitious team set-up headed by Chris White as 'rather unprofessional' and having 'serious shortcomings'.
McEwen is one of the most successful sprinters of all time, with three Tour de France green jersey to his name (2002, 2004, 2006). He has won 12 stages apiece of the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia along with numerous wins at Paris-Nice, Tour de Suisse, Tour Down Under, Paris-Brussels, Eneco Tour and many more. McEwen rode for Katusha for the 2009-2010 seasons.
Fellow sprinter Hunter won the 2004 sprint classification at the Tour de Suisse and became the first South African to win a stage of the Tour de France in 2007. He joins RadioShack from the Garmin-Transitions team.
RadioShack's sponsorship of the US-based team managed by long-time Armstrong collaborator Bruyneel is due to expire at the end of the 2011 season.
Armstrong's final race outside the USA will be the Tour Down Under in January, a race that Robbie McEwen will very likely ride for RadioShack.

Radio车队难道明年打算在单日赛中也有所斩获？

目前如果壮爷真的退役，三大赛可能Radio还是缺了点胜利指数。

老麦这个老骨头还能冲的动不。不过冲刺新秀太少了，也没太多选择。
