Symmetrics off to Cuba

The Canadian team Symmetrics is set to begin its 2007 season at the Vuelta Ciclista a Cuba. Racing begins this Tuesday, February 13 and will last a full 13 days, ending on February 25.

The race features 14 stages of tough racing, including a 30-km individual time trial which should suit Svein Tuft. Tuft, who will wear his Red skin suit of National Champion in the event, has been honing his time trialling skills lately on the track. "I've increased my Revolutions per minute, my leg speed, with all the riding at the velodrome, so I'm pretty stoked to try it out on the road," he said.
