    Rumor: Garmin & CTT to merge in 2011

    Interesting rumor I've seen a few places online today.  Garmin and CTT to combine in 2011.  I would guess that quite a few riders from both teams would be dropped but that could prove to be a great team.

     Here is link that says that HTC-Columbia and Saxo Bank have had discussions about merging ....

    If Saxo Bank and CTT merged, the resulting team would be an unstoppable force. Cancerella, Haussler, Hushovd, the Schleks ... The ground would break open wherever they ride!

    Hehe, take out the Schleks and put in Alberto Contador.. Stick out tongue [:P]
    But as I said it all sounds very unlikely, but NICE dream though. Smile [:)]

    Sounds very unlikely. I know from team Garmin, that they are already testing some 2011 felt bikes. I think they wouldn't do that if they will part after this season. But in pro cycling: never say never!

    They could always ride Felt bikes with Specialized decals ... its been done before :).

     I think it is increasingly likely that the two teams will merge. They are a good fit and they compliment each other well.

    Wow!....something definetely seems to be up here.    I wonder what bikes the new Schleck Brothers team will be riding.   Could they possibly be Cervelo?  Just a wild thought.    If Hushovd and Hausler left then would make some sense for a merger, but not sure of the Felt status, etc.

     would be better for cervelo since they can and would try to sponsor as many teams instead of ONE team.  means they are putting up the other riders contracts up than.

    Garmin and CTT are my two favorite teams, this could be quite interesting! To be honest, even though I love Cervelo, I would like to see Thor and Heinrich go to Garmin. I really feel they could benefit from a stronger team.

     Having Farrar and Thor on the same team would seem a little odd though??

    Haussler, and Farrar, leading out Hushovd... it's the only way they'll ever get close to Cav!!!

    That would be an amazing leadout! I'm not so sure if Thor has the same acceleration as Farrar though. However Thor would have to be the obvious choice for them to get a green jersey, so he would likely be the man. Its a shame he wasn't 100% for the sprints in this years Tour.
