Thor Hushovd has already been in recent negotiations to join Garmin for next season and assuming he makes up part of the new look combined team it will be interesting to see how he combines with Tyler Farrar. Could this be another Cavendish - Griepel conflict or will the race roster be shared out to keep both sprinters happy? I doubt that very much. Of course Hushovd will be reunited with his ex lead out man Julian Dean which might put Farrar's nose further out of joint. Or maybe Hushovd will be the team's Classics specialist along with Martijn Maaskant? And of course there's Haussler to throw into the mix too.
The combined riders will certainly enhance any prospects in the team time trials.
But of course the issue most fans will be interested in, is how the Argyle 'style' of Garmin will mix with the über-cool team strips Cervelo have become famed for...
