January 14, 2007 – The three-time and reigning NRC champion Health Net Pro Cycling Team Presented by Maxxis will begin formal preparation for the 2007 Amgen Tour of California and full racing season with a team training camp in Temecula, in Southern California, January 25 through February 4, 2007.

“The region offers a great mix of training, as well as more amenities and accessibility than our previous camp locations,” said Team Directeur Sportif Jeff Corbett.

Riders and staff will arrive on Thursday, January 25, and get gear and equipment sorted out. The first weekend will be marked by photographs and sponsor meetings and orientation. Media days will be Saturday and Sunday, January 27th and 28th.

The formal team presentation will be held at the Barrel Room of the Ponte Family Winery, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, January 27.
