House, Sherer and Others Transfer Teams
'Tis the season for changing teams and rumors are being confirmed on just who is riding for whom.
Last week, word had it that Oneida, WI native Cole House was transferring from powerhouse BMC over to the US Pro team RealCyclist.Com in support of climber Francisco Mancebo. After racing much of last year in Europe with BMC, why did House suddenly change teams? Today Cycling News just published an interview with Cole that explains the change:
Cole House rode for BMC’s development team in 2009 and 2010, serving briefly as a stagiaire towards the end of the season. He tasted success on the road in the US this year, claiming a stage in the Valley of the Sun Stage and the International Cycling Classic. “It was kind of touch and go whether I would sign with BMC but it was kind of hard to compete for a spot when they're signing big names,” House told Cyclingnews. “But RealCyclist.com just came out of nowhere. I had my agent working on trying to get a ProTeam deal but with all the teams merging or down-sizing there wasn’t much. Then one day I got an email from Gordon Fraser saying he was directing this new team and wanted me to join them.”
Three former European based Garmin riders join KBS including Michael Friedman, Michael Creed and Jason Donald. Daniel Holloway, the current USPRO Criterium champ also joins the roster this season as well as Thomas Soladay, Julian Kyer, Michael Sherer and Colton Barrett. The 2011 KBS roster sees some old familiar faces. Soladay is a former member of the Kelly Benefit Strategies amateur team based in Baltimore and Creed is a former teammate of Carney.
Finally here, Kenda Pro Cycling has announced their final roster for 2011 including new transfer from Texas Roadhouse - Pat Lemieux who will ride along side of Chad Hartley, Jim Stemper, and Rob White among others.
Best of luck to all these riders with their new teams!
