Team CSC has announced at least three American teammates will ride in the inaugural Amgen Tour of California bicycle race, which runs from Feb. 19 to 26.
In a press release, CSC says:
“Among the Team CSC riders scheduled to compete in the event are Americans Bobby Julich, a bronze medal winner in the 2004 Olympics and Christian Vande Velde. David Zabriskie, an early leader in the 2005 Tour de France and one of only three Americans to wear that event's prestigious yellow leader's jersey, also will compete for Team CSC.”
Julich last year also became the first American to win the early spring, week-long the Paris-Nice bicycle race.
It will be cool to see these Americans racing on their home turf again. Other Americans expected to race include Freddy Rodriguez on Davitamon-Lotto, Levi Leipheimer on Gerolsteiner, Floyd Landis on Phonak, and a slew of riders on the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team.
The press release goes on:
“Prior to the Tour of California, the full Team CSC squad of 30 riders will participate in a training camp in Solvang, Calif. The U.S.-based training camp will mark the first time Team CSC has held one of its important early season preparation events outside of Europe.”
