'''Leopard True Racing''' is a new professional road bicycle racing team from Luxembourg led by the brothers [[Andy Schleck]] and [[Frank Schleck]], with Brian Nygaard and Kim Andersen as team managers. The Schleck brothers are under contract with the Danish team Saxo Bank managed by [[Bjarne Riis]] through the end of the 2010 season. Rumour has it that the Schleck brothers have managed to get several other [[Team Saxo Bank]] riders to follow them to the new team, although at present only the signing of veteran [[Jens Voigt]] has been confirmed.<ref>[http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/10/news/jens-voigt-to-join-schleck-brothers-luxembourg-squad_147248 Jens Voigt to join Schleck brothers' Luxembourg squad]</ref> Other confirmed signings include sprinter [[Daniele Bennati]], who comes to the new team from Liquigas, and [[Davide Vigano]], most recently with Team Sky.<ref>[http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/luxembourg-pro-cycling-snaps-up-bennati-and-vigano Luxembourg Pro Cycling snaps up Bennati and Vigano]</ref> |
