Might be a good chance to get to know what looks to be a very competitive team out of the UK.

I'm not on facebook so will have to delay watching this till I can snaffle the wifes computer.

Team Sky Launch
Here is your chance to ride with Team Sky on 4th January 2010 at our exclusive launch event in London.

If you have a bike, are available at short notice in the London area on the day and would like to join us, then enter your details below.

Places are limited, we will randomly select 300 people from all entries to join the ride. If you are chosen we will contact you via SMS message or email by 8am with the secret start location.

Details filled out and now hoping they are not taking us on a training sprint. May be taking a sickie for the first time in years if it comes off though.

Thanks BD.

Good luck!

take a sick day with a clear concious,after all how many times did you show up at work when you should have been home in bed?

Were you one of the lucky ones?

Think you would have heard about it if I had. All you would have had to do was stick and ear out of the window and you would have heard me.

2,000+ applied and only 300 rides available and they were going to advise by SMS on mobile phones or by E-Mail. If you were one of the lucky ones- you had to be in Central London at 8am and they would then advise on the mobile where to get to.

I was up at 5am and checked the phone and E-Mail again but no message. Had to go into work again today but the wife was all primed to phone work to tell them I had caught a cold and had lost my Voice.

Web site for the "NEW" team is here- but as they did not invite me to their ride- I will probably still be following Columbia and Liquigas this year.
