CyclingNZ talks to Tour Down Under officials about Team Garmin-Slipstream – and specifically Julian Dean – participating in the six stage race in January.
From the article: “We are also looking forward to seeing Julian Dean perform as New Zealand’s current national road race champion.” Dean was a incredibe performer in the Tour de France this year breaking into the top ten on several occasions with a top stage finish of fourth. For Kiwi fans jumping the ditch to take in the action of the tour it will be a fantastic opportunity to see Dean racing with his new US team and perhaps bringing home a victory.
