Team MTN-Qhubeka will be among the 18 teams participating in the Amgen Tour of California’s 10th anniversary event, America’s premier cycling race taking place from May 10 to 17.
The Amgen Tour of California is a race that for the last two years we hoped we would be invited to, we are grateful that this year we have been given our chance. If you look at past editions of the race, you will see it attracts some of the best Grand Tour riders in the world and is held in high regard by all the professional teams.
California has fast become one of the world cycling hubs, the crowds at the Amgen Tour of California are testament to this fact. We are delighted to now be able to bring the message of Qhubeka to these cycling fanatics and the continent of America.
“It’s the first time our team will be doing the Tour of California.
“Not only is it an important race for our sponsors but also for us it is a really important race and we really look forward to going there,” said sports director Michel Cornelisse.
“It comes at a good time in the year, just as a lot of riders are getting back into racing after the classics and it is used by a lot of riders in preparation for the Tour de France,” said Team MTN-Qhubeka rider Steve Cummings.
