I seem to remember reading one of those <this famous person also loves cycling> regular monthly features in Cycling Plus or summat a while back.
I think quite a few of the celeb/ex sportsman types get to tag along with Pro Teams occasionally.
They are a new UK team along with the Wiggo lot. That makes 7 big uk teams for this season, so the Tour Series should be interesting this season.
Got back to the hotel and talking to a guy I know he said they were having a through and off session along the Puerto Pollensa bypass, and he said they were absolutely nailing it, made it look like normal cyclists were standing still. But one had been dropped and was out the back, so it just shows how it's not just us normals that get dropped.
I have seen Sky, Katusha, Orica, I-AM and Madison Genesis out here in the past and it amazes me how good they all look formed up perfectly in full kit with the car following.
