2007 road preview part 2

Road season preview 2 brings us to the Teams and where everyone is at for the season, there has been some shake ups, and sponsor changes throughout our scene but the fact remains it looks like everyone is pretty serious when it comes to tryin to take that trophy from the WMCR team, there gonna have to work for as it looks as not much has changed on there end there all still intact and strong. Heres a brief rundown on the known moves, please be advised most of this comes from Bloggin, alittle hear say, and some rumors.. so correct us if were wrong. with no order of any, here go's..

• The BIG News is the new Essex Brass team, gone are the Trek/Bontrager mounts and in with custom euro Scott Bikes and Zipp wheels
• key additions, former Wolverine Sprinter Terry Palmer, Ken Veriner, crosser Tim Sari, Matt Scott, and ol Rippin Sink. With Riveria, dudley and Palmer all together that makes one tough bunch of Sprinters. almost on par with WMCR sprinter squad..

• HDI/Giant picks up west sider Jimmy Mcmurray and rumor has it they are working on former Cane CreekCross lord Jeff Weinert. but that comes with a loss of Solid Norm Zellers, and Ken Veriner to the new Essex team

• Ford/Giant now Lathrup industries, still retains its ever powerfull squad. theres not weak spot on this team and should never be counted out.

• Sunrise/jittery joes, is now South Lyon cycles/Jittery joes, not much of a change here, they still have crit master Jeffery Hamilton, and all arounder IAN. and up coming JBRAKE. key losses though will be Andrew Weir, Rick Lung, Brian Rosewarne, who have left to start a new squad within the Ann Arbor /velo Two wheel Tango area, they also lose up and comer Matt Scott to Essex

• Saturn/Shell once again comes back with a squad of tough all arounders, King of Dirt Jeff Crawford, the Cyborg, Steve Clark, and sprinter Jim Regan took advantage of the Defunct Cane Creek squad and picked up the ever powerfull Jon Card, and Rob Foshag, The Cyborg and the black ace Card on the same team could make for a tough TT punch.

• Wolverines used to be refered to as the RED ARMY, but gone are the blood red uniforms of the late 80's but the power is still there, they may feel the loss of Terry Palmer and Rippin Sink but, Pappa T, Dybo, Danny K, Tim Finkle, and Young luke.as wellas FRANKIE. and some other up and comers will be out in force.
• Priority Health will be still field a regional team that will have its share of guns, Like Sven, northerner Jeff Koch, Ben Whitehead,Scott Anderson, Eric Forrester, Jon Doyle, Derek Grahm.
