Canada's Team Spidertech powered by C10 squad recently conducted a pre-season training camp in Toronto and then rolled out the formal wear for the presentation of the 2012 roster.
Buoyed by the signings of RadioShack's Bjorn Selander and HTC-Highroad's Caleb Fairly for the upcoming season, the team looks to build on its successful 2011 campaign as it embarks on a split North American-European calendar for its second year in the Pro Continental ranks.
"Pro cycling is a business and strong riders have options to sign with various teams. All teams must market themselves to riders to attract top talent," said team co-founder and manager Steve Bauer. "I am thrilled that we were able to recruit Caleb Fairly and Bjorn Selander. These riders bring a wealth of international experience and impressive racing resumes."
The team will depart for Europe in early January for pre-season training with the race season starting in late January.
