Tibco Womens Pro Cycling Team Announced
LOOK for Team TIBCO on the NRC circuit in 2007! Second year  Silicon Valley sponsored team will race full National Calendar and two World Cup races.

Following its successful debut on the National Circuit in 2006, Team TIBCO has expanded its team to compete in a full calendar for 2007. Formerly known as PABW Powered by TIBCO, the team won stages at each of the national races it entered in 2006: Altoona, Nature Valley and Mt. Hood; and won the over all classification at the Bermuda Grand Prix.

TIBCO Software is now the title sponsor for the team. “We are extremely grateful to TIBCO for their support” said Linda Jackson, Director Sportif. “Their sponsorship is enabling these talented women to pursue their passion and become the best that they can be” she added.

The team is continuing its partnership with LOOK and will be riding the new LOOK 585 Elle road frame and 496 TT frame as it is gears up to expand on its successful 2006 campaign. “We’re happy to be part of this exciting program and look forward to developing a long-term relationship with the team” said Ming Tan, Vice-President, Marketing and Development for LOOK CYCLE USA. "The LOOKs are really great bikes. LOOK has done an excellent job of combining stiffness and comfort. When I sprint, the bike leaps forward. But it is also a really comfortable bike, making those long training rides a pleasure." said Brooke Miller.

Team TIBCO will also be working with SRAM Corporation. “We’re proud to be associated with Team TIBCO and confident they will continue as one of the most successful women’s programs in the U.S. SRAM Force componentry and its DoubleTap actuation deliver the best ergonomics for any rider as both shifts are actuated with one lever. Linda Jackson has put together a quality program with several really strong riders, and we are looking forward to a great partnership,” said Alex Wassmann, SRAM Road Sponsorship Manager.

Brooke Miller will head up the 2007 roster that includes returning riders Stacy Marple and Victoria Vallstrom and newcomers Katie Lambden, Liza Rachetto, Marisa Asplund and Yukie Nakamura. “The team is incredibly motivated by it’s success last year and is looking forward to improving on that success in 2007” said Linda Jackson, Director Sportif and former Olympian. “We plan to take the experience we gained from last year and add value with our new team members.

Where last year I described our athletes as ‘diamonds in the rough’, for 2007 they are more ‘polished’,” she added. The team will race in over 20 events in Silicon Valley, compete in a full national racing calendar and will also compete in two international events: the Montreal World Cup and the Tour of Montreal.
