Road Warriors: New Name, New Colors and Bigger Goals

Road Warriors: Bissell takes on title-sponsor role
Nice article from Velonews:

"Zirbel, a former runner who started the 2007 season with a 12th place at the Tour of California stage 5 time trial, missed the core of the season after a blood clot led to a pulmonary embolism. In Zirbel’s absence Jacques-Maynes took up sole leadership for the team, finishing second on the NRC individual rankings behind Health Net-Maxxis rider Rory Sutherland."

"Other 2007 team highlights included Zirbel’s fourth-place at the national time trial championship in August, September wins by Emile Abraham (the U.S. 100K Classic) and Peltonen (The Tour of Leelanau) and stage wins at November’s Tour of Southland for Zirbel, Zwizanksi and Vennell, in his first race with the team.?"
