With several new faces in the lineup, Team TIAA-CREF, America's 'youngest' professional cycling team, has announced its 2006 roster. Making the most of youth and experience, Team TIAA-CREF features the country's top up-and-coming professional cyclists mixed with experienced riders, including former Discovery Channel pro Mike Creed, 2001 U23 world time trial champion Danny Pate, two-time espoir national champion Ian MacGregor and Canadian professional road champion Francois Parisien.
Former Credit Agricole pro Jonathan Vaughters, TIAA-CREF team director, believes that, "Our 2006 squad contains the finest young racers in the USA, and we are looking forward to aggressive racing from them in both the US and in Europe." The team begins its 2006 season with the French season openers GP Marseillaise and Etoile des Besseges this coming week.
