Taylor Phinney - Pro cyclist Trek Livestrong Team

Answering Questions from the ether

What’s on Min-Phin’s upcoming racing program?  Track Natz for one - they start next week in LA (Oct 1-5).Why didn’t Taylor race the U-23 TT in Italy?  He’s not a U-23 rider YET!  He’s still technically a Junior and ineligible for U-23 races!  Taylor can race in Elite events (ie, Senior) but is not U-23 by the rules which is why he was unable to race in the Tour of PA (a U-25 race) which put a severe crimp in his post-Olympic prep.Great results by Peter Stetina - 6th in the ITT @ Worlds! —  (and today - Amber Neben who won Gold).   Another Question?  Is the new team linked to the Pro Tour team, Astana?  No.  It will be a stand alone program but of course will be mentored by Lance and therein lies the link….
