Kirk Willett, a former professional cyclist and well-known US team director, has been appointed as director of the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team. Willett, who fills the slot left open after former director Frankie Andreu was fired, will join Harm Jansen on the frontlines to handle team logistics, day-to-day operations, race strategy, and overall management of team personnel.
Willett, who retired from racing in 2000, rode for the Mercury professional team before moving on to a director's position with the Prime Alliance cycling team, where he led the team for three seasons.
