February 20, 2003 (Toronto, ON) – The Atlas Cold Storage/Italpasta cycling team is pleased to announce its 2003 roster. This year sees a few new recruits and some exciting news that the team has been registered as a Tier 3 UCI team. As always, the venerable John Harris will direct the team, along with Annie Segat. Last year's successes have inspired the team to achieve even loftier heights, after medalling at the National Championships along with a score of top results in North America.

Once again National team rider Andrew Pinfold will be joined by Canadian cycling stalwarts Patrick Shea, Jeff Hansen, Simon Small, Paul Rego, Antoine Varghese and Ross Hooker. Canadian newcomers to the team are Joe Giluliano and Matt Hansen from the Sympatico team, and Bryan Rusche and Gerard Woloviec. Two New Zealanders, Oliver Tompkins and Silas Cullen, will complete the squad.

Atlas Cold/Italpasta, keen on development, is taking junior rider, Andrew Wilson, under its wing. Look for Atlas Cold Storage/Italpasta at many of the major Canadian and North American races this year!
