USA Cycling had a sent out a little press release on 12/21 listing the new US teams for 2005. I love looking up stuff on their site, it always seems like a mess. I talked to their web guy on the phone once, and he seemed nice but a little over his head. I wanted to get to a list of press releases and I got an index file. Anyway...After looking for half an hour in the USA Cycling site I had to go to Spokepost.com and find the press release on the addition of Endeavour and Sierra Nevada - Ofoto team to the roster of US D3 teams. Open note to USA Cycling - Put a link on your site that says Press Releases, it just might help! No wonder USA Cycling is going bankrupt all the time.
I guess the UCI made some late additions, which is a little weird. There seems to be some ill will going on with some of the riders that were on Ofoto and McGuire. It is hard to get the whole picture at the moment but it sounds like some folks got screwed: Check out Eric Saunders comments regarding the "disbandment and looting" of the Ofoto team(see Dec 2 entry.)
Erik has ended up on McGuire, the former or current team of Mike Taylor. I need an update here people! I can't tell from Mikes sigos (significant other) last entry on the Ritchey site if he is still with McGuire or not. Joni, the sigo, is a total tease. It sounds like some assistant manager on McGuire or some other Nor Cal D3 team did something they shouldn't have, but no good details are provided. She goes on to compare the D3 cycling world to the Sopranos, dead bodies and all. Totally bizarre, but some obvious hurt feelings are out there. Come on Joni... share the details. Tell me where the bodies are buried!
