RadioShack: The Caring Team (Not)

Things are still horribly quiet on the Schleck front: no news from Andy about how his backside is repairing itself, and no new from Frankie regarding his efforts to clear his name from the adverse finding at the Tour.

This morning I was idly looking at the Shack site, to see if there were any updates, and I was quite cross to notice this, on Andy's "Team" page:
Andy Schleck team page on RadioShack site

Why "cross"?

Firstly, check the spelling of Schleck on the lower of the two news items. Yes, they spelled it wrongly.  Sheck? You can't even spell his name correctly? Are you seriously telling me that no-one on the team or on the admin side noticed a basic spelling mistake like that?

Secondly, check the Tour results in the Palmares: 2010 Tour, 2nd?  No, upgraded to 1st,  I believe, after Contador's ban and title-stripping episode.

So RadioShack are so opposite-of-proud of Andy that they haven't even bothered to update his palmares to reflect the fact that officially, he is a Tour winner. Yes, we all know that he doesn't want to win it like that, he wants to win it on the road, and, fingers crossed, in a year or two he will. But for now, first place in 2010 was awarded to him, and his own team's website surely ought to reflect it.

Is it just me, or is it time that our Leopards thought hard about ditching this terrible team?
