Cervelo Test Team News
Yawn....I don’t know why I’m posting this, except to instigate Pclown, as I could care less about anything Cervelo....
Vittoria at the Cervélo TestTeam launch!
Next week in Portugal, the men and women of Cervélo TestTeam will start their first training camp together at the Robinson Club Quinta da Ria in the Algarve. The club, located along the beautiful east coast of the Algarve, offers the ideal conditions for optimal training for the teams to prepare for the upcoming cycling season.
Carlos Sastre, winner of the 2008 Tour de France is already sporting his new Cervelo TestTeam jersey, which was presented the 1st of january.
As well as the training camp, the unique team of 25 men and 12 women will be presented to the public for the first time. On Saturday, January 17 the media will have the opportunity to cover the training and interview the riders.
On Sunday, the event will continue with the official Cervélo TestTeam Launch at 11.00h with all the athletes including last year’s Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre (ESP), the top sprinter Thor Hushovd (NOR) and the Olympic Time Trial Champion Kristin Armstrong (USA).

It's not an actual team. It's just a test team RW. Just like my S2 isn't an actual bike, it's just a vaporware bike.

Has coddling tendencies.
Cervélo TestTeam expects invites to all the big tours this season. Pcad, you're also expecting your S2 sometime this year? Which one do you think actually has a chance of becoming reality?

Congrats on the Steelers. They should win the Super Bowl, but of course, Arizona shouldn't even be there, just like the Giants last year. Fascinating match-up. I'll watch. The only thing that will save the TV ratings will be the presence of the Steelers.
