December 8, 2008 – The Coach Chris.ca/Ted Velikonja Cycling is pleased to announce their team roster and sponsors for 2009. 2008 was a very successful year with the Team winning the Ontario Road Team Standings. The team will be in its seventh year and continues to grow each year. 2009 will see a growth in our development team with a focus on the junior and cadet categories. The team will have an elite Senior 1/2 team made up predominantly of espoir age riders. Finally the team will also have a fairly large Masters team.
