MotorTabs is a proud sponsor of the BMW-Bianchi cycling team! Here is what the team manager has to say about the start of their season.
"We got off to a great start in the early season races in the Southeast. We had two riders line up for the Wolfpack race - one day after the first event was cancelled due to snow, the team won the second race in Chapel Hill! Sarah Caravella, our newest weapon, forced a breakaway and then demolished her two companions in the uphill finish to claim the team's first win of the year. Cora Olson won the field sprint for 4th. The following weekend we sent four riders to the Greenville Training Series in South Carolina. Cora was our go-to girl this time, and after attacking from the gun, another new recruit Kate Ross countered with a solo move. When Kate was brought back Cora broke away and was never seen by the pack again thanks to the work of Kate, Deb Whitmore and myself to keep the chase under control. Cora won over her sole breakaway companion with relative ease. Unfortunately the rest of the team didn't have much luck in a dangerous bunch sprint. The next day Cora finished 4th in the BMW Performance Center criterium. Our marketing efforts are going well, and our new VIP Supporters Club has attracted 10 members so far. Our fan base is also growing, and between Twitter and Facebook we have over 1500 "fans"! Our next races will be the rest of the Greenville Training Series as our riders prepare for the start of the National Racing Calendar. Thanks to our fundraising efforts, we can field a full team at the Redlands Classic in California next month for the first time in our 7-year history. Cora Olson, Sarah Caravella, Kate Ross, Kathleen Billington and Rachel Warner will form the basis of the team with a few guest riders to complete the roster. Again, thank you for all of your support of our team!"
