Dutch team looking for Australian rider

A Dutch Elite cycling team is looking for a talented 19 or 20 year-old male cyclist to ride their Under 23 and Elite programs in 2006. The Under 23 program includes the Classics which are part of the Dutch Under 23 series, while the Elite program offers the opportunity to ride in Classics ranked up to a 1.2 on the UCI calendar throughout the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as stage races, lucrative Dutch criteriums and Belgian circuit races (kermesse).

The selected cyclist will receive free accommodation for the 2006 season (from March until October), as well as a racing kit. All race entry fees and travel costs will also be covered. In the last three years, seven Australian riders were part of the team.
