Barloworld continues as sponsor

The South African international industrial brand management company Barloworld has announced that it will continue sponsoring its cycling team for at least another season. 2006 will mark the fourth year of the company's sponsorship, and Team Barloworld has come off another strong season. This year, the team won the Tour de Langkawi, the Giro del Capo, Tour of Portugal, as well as stage wins in some of Europe's stage races. They also won the South African champion's jersey for the third consecutive time and were well represented at the World Championships in Madrid.

Over the last three years the team has had a core of South African riders, backed by a solid European roster. The team is managed by John Robertson and Euro Cycling Promotions
