Radio Shack announced today that it will sponsor a new cycling team in 2010 featuring Lance Armstrong. A break from Astana, was widely expected for Armstrong, who is expected to build Team Radio Shack into a unit that can help him win an eighth Tour de France in 2010.

Here is a look at five things to expect from this new partnership:

1) Next year's Tour will be one of the most hyped in years. Lance Armstrong, returning to the Tour as a probable team leader for the first time since his run of seven-straight victories, facing off against the man he rode for this year, likely champion Alberto Contador. The two are said to have had "friction" during this year's race, which makes a head-to-head duel in 2010 all the more juicy.

2) Lance will ask for your phone number upon any autograph request. 

3) Team Radio Shack will be poaching talent, most notably from an already-struggling Astana. Expect current teammates Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner to join Armstrong at Radio Shack. No word on whether Howie Long will be invited. 

4) Either Lance or one of the team's other cyclists will live within five miles of 95 percent of Americans.

5) You'll forget that Lance Armstrong exists, until you need a cord to hook up your iPod to your car stereo.
