Paris - RadioShack might not have the Tour de France favourite in their ranks, but team boss Johan Bruyneel hopes a trio made up of Lance Armstrong, Andreas Kloden and Levi Leipheimer will derail defending champion Alberto Contador's bid to win the showcase event for a third time.
Contador, who defeated Armstrong last July to claim a second Tour victory, is favoured to defend his title.
But although the Spaniard has the odds on his side, seven-time champion Armstrong and his longtime friend and mentor Bruyneel believe that playing the team card could help RadioShack knock Contador off his perch.
Bruyneel recently said "it's better to have three cards to play from a strategic point of view."
The three-week Tour starts on Saturday from the Dutch port of Rotterdam.
