After a successful pair of races in Europe — Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico — the cycling press was all a buzz about Team Garmin-Slipstream:
Velonews did a phone interview with Tyler Farrar about his major sprint win while he was on the team bus driving to the next stage. Many of the race previews for this weekend’s Milano-San Remo are now mentioning his name as a contender if the race comes down to a field sprint.
Cyclingnews interviewed Jonathan Vaughters about Christian Vande Velde’s solo win at Paris-Nice.
Julian Dean posted his diary on Roadcycling.com about the week in Italy.
Finally, Team Garmin-Slipstream was officially invited to race the 2009 Tour de France.
