Team Type 1 to start at Langkawi

By Jean-François Quénet

The newly formed American continental squad Team Type 1, which is managed by former Navigators Insurance director Ed Beamon, will begin its first season in Malaysia with a strong contingent of Australian riders at Le Tour de Langkawi. The US-based squad will be led by Matt Wilson, who made his debut at the Malaysian event some 10 years ago with the Australian National Team. A former national champion during his time with Française des Jeux in 2003, Wilson is the recent winner of the Herald Sun Tour in Melbourne Australia.
