A New Look

Its not uncommon for a new year to usher in a new look, but 2008 is shaping up to be a complete makeover for cycling. Gone are a bevy of names that have become synonymous with the sport, both individuals and sponsors, but as in life cycling continues to roll along. New teams and riders will rise up to be embraced by a new generation of fans, and by more intelligent [and skeptical] established ones as well.

Bill Stapleton's Team High Road Sports, the former T-Mobile, unveiled their new look and claimed their first victory of the year with Roger Hammond's win at the British Cyclocross Nationals (January 5-6th).

In regard to our new look, it was a bit delayed due to server issues. The look is also a complete departure from templates used previously, and as such there are some bugs and kinks to be worked out. It was created and vetted using both Mozilla Firefox [available for Windows] and Apple's Safari web browsers. If you use either, then you have seen the mostly complete makeover. For those using Internet Explorer, you're more likely to think that we've just gotten into web design, as the site doesn't look remotely as it was intended.

Regardless, we hope you enjoy the new look and the new features.
