Team Sky Announcement

[Sky Sports Team]

We know you’re passionate about cycling and we wanted you to be amongst the first to know about the creation of a professional British road cycling team - Team Sky.

Team Sky hopes to create the first British winner of the Tour De France within the next five years and inspire more people, to get on their bikes and enjoy the positive benefits of cycling.

Competing from the start of 2010, Team Sky will have a core of British riders, coaches and support staff andwill be managed by David Brailsford who, as you know, led Britain’s Olympic team to its inspiring 14 medal haul.

Team Sky is just part of Sky’s commitment to cycling, as a Principal Partner of British Cycling we’re looking to fuel the sport from grass roots to professional level. We are also developing more inspiring events, like last year’s Sky Sports London Freewheel, to make cycling fun, easy and accessible to all.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say and if you want us to, we’ll be happy to come back and update you on any new developments.

Thanks
Sky Sports Team

There will be more interest in the Racing section of this forum, in this section we usually carry all our own equipment when on tour and tend not to be in any great hurry.

As this in touring should it not say

"Competing from the start of 2010, Team Sky will have a core of British riders, coaches and support staff andwill be managed by David Brailsford who, as you know, led Britain’s Olympic team to its inspiring 14 medal haul. All bikes will be in steel with beautiful lugwork, chromed toe-clips and riders will carry all their own kit in Carradice saddle bags. Saddles will be provided by Brooks"

Which pretty much sums up the confusion of those 'outside' the sport, though I would have expected better from Sky's PR dept.

My friend works for Sky! I'm putting myself forward as a small podium girl!

Tour de France= supported tour without mudguards.

Not for me, thank you.
