Project London 2012 Launch
Olympic dreams as team prepares for World Championships - team website launched
Project London is an elite track cycling team, inspired, created and managed
by Rubicon Cycling, LCC. Rubicon Cycling will carry on the mission of benefiting
the LIVESTRONG organization while pursuing the development of young cyclists
into champion professional athletes, fulfilling their dream of representing the
United States of America in the Olympic Games.
The Olympic dream of our four athletes through Project London is made
possible by the generous sponsorship of Felt Bicycles, Rolf Prima wheels, Nike,
Giro, Oakley, Schwalbe Tires, Park Tools, DMT and United Finance. Athletes will
compete in a variety of events across the US as a trade team and will also vie
for slots on the USA National Team in international competition in the UCI World
Cup, UCI World Championships, and the Olympic Games.
Project London rider Dean Tracy set a new American record in Manchester and
helped team USA qualify for the Team Sprint at the UCI World Championships.
Two Project London riders, Dean Tracy and 2008 Olympian Michael Blatchford
now fly to Holland along with Team USA rider Giddeon Massie to represent the
red, white and blue against the best in the world. Currently the team is
training at the Home Depot Velodrome.
