Team High Road Team presentation

February 16, 2008

Two days before the start of the 2008 Tour of California, cycling commentator Phil Liggett presented the newly-structured Team High Road inside the Cuberley Theatre in Palo Alto, California. It has become a USA-based ProTour team – relocating to San Luis Obispo – and the only team that combines a world-class sister counterpart. Along with the new kit comes a fresh mentality for hard work and fair play. Cyclingnews' Kirsten Robbins was on hand for the enlightening introduction of the forty-two ambassadors for positive and healthy sportsmanship.

Forty-two men and women on Team High Road flew into their new home base, San Luis Obispo, for an early season training camp along the coast of California.

"It's a new way of training that is much different from the old method I grew up, the old German way of long training," said Holm regarding to the short interval sessions on the trainer.
