 With 58 riders – excluding Wouter Weylandt , after his death at the Giro d 'Italia – competing for Leopard Trek and Team RadioShack during the 2011 season , a battle for places on the squad ensued . As UCI regulations stipulated that a squad could not have more than 30 riders for the season , many riders were left without a guaranteed place in the merged RadioShack – Nissan team for the 2012 season . Thirteen riders remained within the Leopard SA @-@ licensed setup for 2012 ; the two @-@ year contracts of Daniele Bennati and Jakob Fuglsang , as well as the three @-@ year contracts of Fabian Cancellara and Maxime Monfort , and the four @-@ year contracts for Andy Schleck and Fränk Schleck , were all honoured . Joost Posthuma , Jens Voigt , and Oliver Zaugg , who had all joined the team on one @-@ year contracts in 2011 , extended their deals to remain with the team into 2012 . Linus Gerdemann also remained with the team , despite having been linked with Team Katusha , while Thomas Rohregger signed a new two @-@ year deal with the team . Also remaining with the team were Giacomo Nizzolo and Robert Wagner .
