Team Leopard was introduced in Luxembourg earlier today.

The top-ranked cycling squad featuring Tour de France runner-up Andy Schleck and Fabian Cancellara will be called Team Leopard-Trek.

The name was announced at a team launch presentation in Luxembourg earlier today.

Leopard is Danish team manager Brian Nygaard's holding company, and Trek is a U.S.-based bike manufacturer and longtime sponsor of Lance Armstrong and his current team RadioShack and former teams Astana, Discovery Channel and US Postal Service.

Team Leopard-Trek was automatically ranked No. 1 by the International Cycling Union, helped by Schleck's finish in last season's Tour de France and time trial world champion Cancellara's dominance in one-day classics.

Both riders, plus teammates Frank Schleck, Jens Voigt and Stuart O'Grady, left Danish Team Saxo Bank to join the Luxembourg pro cycling team project.

Thank you Team Leopard, for inviting Roadcycling.com and Roadcycling.mobi to the official team presentation in Luxembourg today. We greatly appreciate it.
