Levi Leipheimer has signed up to join Lance Armstrong's Team RadioShack for 2010.
Leipheimer has signed up to the new US-based outfit for two years, according to a report on ESPN. The American was a team-mate with Armstrong at Astana, as well as on Armstrong's former Discovery Channel team.
Two other Astana riders are also set to join the new team, managed by Johan Bruyneel - Spaniard Jose Luis Rubiera and Portugal's Sergio Paulinho.
Team RadioShack are due to make their racing debut - if their ProTour licence application is approved - at the Tour Down Under in Australia in January 2010.
Armstrong's final outing on the road for Astana was at the Tour of Ireland in August.
