New Chapter….
September 24th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized
Moving to a new team and new program is not an easy choice for the Phinney family, we certainly had a good ride these past three years with the locally organized Slipstream/Garmin-Chipotle program thanks to JV and all his staff for supporting T in his far-flung endeavors! When the Lance opportunity came around, it was not easy to pick up stakes and move on. Fact is, Taylor was pursued by many teams but definitely did not feel ready for the ProTour level and yet was ready for a leap. The Lance opportunity includes the ability to have Axel Merckx at the helm and the backing of Trek - a huge success story in cycling with Wisconsin roots (yeah!). Amazing to have so many fine choices - the future is bright!
