Hello my name is Joe Riley, I'm an American and have been chosen too take over the top team in cycling, Team CSC, sponsored by Saxo Bank.
The Team this year is an all star team capable of winning the Pro-tour, and we intend on doing that.
Star riders:
Frank Schleck
Frank is a great all around rider, he specializes in the hills and is very well rounded in the mountains as well. He's only 27 so he has many more years left in his carer, this year he intends to target the Ardenees classics, and to help Sastre in the TDF.
Carlos Sastre
Carlos is our main GC leader this year, he's got great hopes for the TDF and Vuelta this year. He is on his last year on his contract at CSC, and how he performs this year will indicate if he's worth of signing for years to come or not.
Fabian Cancellara
Hmmm, not much too say about Fabian except for the fact that he is a total badass on a bicycle. He is an amazing TTer and cobble specialist, and can get over the hills with enough energy for a sprint.
Those 3 are the riders we model the team around this year, we believe they can bring us success in the hardest races.
Grand tour leaders:
Giro
Andy Schleck
Tour/Vuelta
Carlos Sastre
So there you have it, that's the team that we have for this season, see you soon, Joe Riley.

Australian Champs
Stuart is in good shape for this race so we hope to take the jersey home to CSC.
Goss got into the break today, it included, Kemps, Lancaster, Davis, Renshaw, Robb, Clarke and Morgan.
The break split into many groups many many times, it's like they just wanted to fight for last at the pace they were going.
Mcgee started to pull the pack along and puled in all of the breakaway except for, Lancaster, Davis, and Goss.
Goss was caught but Davis was still out front, Goss had enough strength to take some pulls before slipping out the back.'
Disaster! O'grady is down! He's coming back hard but we may have to switch our leader to Mcgee.
O'Grady is back to the peleton now, he used too much energy coming back so now Mcgee is our leader.
O'Grady became a super domestique, working hard to catch Davis.
He was caught with 20 KM to go, Mcgee attacked at 6 KM to go, but Evans and Rogers are with us, this isn't good.
It's Rogers vs Evans now, who will get it?
Cadel nips him on the line, Mcgee comes in third, which i find a good result for a not in shape rider.

Tour down under stage 1
Ah the fist Pro-tour race of the year, here we hope that Stuart can bring the pain and take home some wins.
Team:
The break of day was a group of 10. we didn't put anyone in it though.
They were caught like normal though, but it was a very hectic sprint, none of my riders were well placed.
O'Grady managed to find Napolitano's wheel though, so it's looking good!
He couldn't come around his wheel though, so Napolitano wins.

Tour down under stage 2
A flat stage today, we hope to tire some of the other sprinters out on the hills so that O'grady can excel.
A break of 12 got out.
We caught then with 30 KM thanks to a fast pace by Averson. And it looks as it will be a sprint.
But Mcgee jumps out of the peleton with 10 KM to go! Will it stick?
He is caught, but he is leading out O'Grady, this is looking good!
But he is forced to start his sprint super early, will it hold?
He's still leading at 700 meters but Mcewen and Boonen is coming fast!
But Boonen comes around at the last 20 meters, O'Grady second.
