Today sees the launch of United Pro Cycling Team featuring the talents of Frankie Andreau (director), Chris Wherry (US Pro Champ), Chris Baldwin and Ivan Dominguez (huge sprinters) and Antonio Cruz (Discovery) amongst others. Why am I telling you this?
Just to show off because they share kit sponsors with Champion System so we all had dinner with them last night which was pretty cool and yesthey are all taller and skinnier than on TV! We all heard some pretty scary stories about Ullrich, Fagnini and the other top Pro's just being monsters even compare to those pro guys.
We were also given our first bit of kit for the year - lovely Specialized helmets and shades - nice.
Suppose we better start paying them back in races - atleast I know my role now is to be a domestique/sacrificial ram - nice.
