Team / Blog CyclingNews: Svein Tuft’s Journey
CyclingNews’ Gregor Brown talks to Canadian Svein Tuft (left) about his journey from bike tourist to World time trial silver medalist and his goals for the coming season as one of the new members of Team Garmin-Chipotle H3O.
From the article: “He will ride alongside Millar, Zabriskie and Pate in the team that in its debut year rode the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France. Instead of fighting for stages in the Tour de Beauce, we could see Tuft hang with the big boys at the Tour de France.”
” ‘I want to race a Grand Tour. I have done a couple of 14-day stage races and I have always felt good in those tours,’ ” said Tuft, who will soon relocate to Girona, Spain, to live close to the team’s other North Americans. ” ‘First memory of the Tour? It was probably watching it with my dad when I was a kid…’ “

Let me be the first to say, “when the going gets Tuft …..Tuft gets going.”
Ba-da-bum-BING! Good one, Paul…..
A question for Admin: Speaking about Girona….when can we expect to see the lads up training that way? Some of us are thinking about heading up there for the New Year to get some riding in…any chance we might have the good fortune to get outrun and dropped by the Argyle Armada???
