October 11, 2004 – In its second year, Symmetrics Cycling raced 103 days, claiming 95 podium finishes with 41 victories including two National Championship titles. These impressive results left an indelible mark on the local, regional and national road racing circuits in 2004.

Symmetrics Cycling claimed victory in every British Columbia road cycling title: BC Road, BC Time Trial and BC Criterium for the second consecutive season. In addition, the team again brought home the SISU BC Cup Series title in both the individual and team events.

Symmetrics Cycling will return in 2005 and has formally submitted their letter of intent with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) as a North American Continental Team (formerly Division 3) under the new UCI Road Reform. This will allow Symmetrics entry into The Dodge Tour de Georgia, Wachovia Cycling Series including the USPRO Championships, and the T-Mobile International in San Francisco.

Symmetrics will complete its application and formal payment prior to the December 20th deadline as they finalize their roster for the upcoming season. Confirmed at this time for 2005 are returning riders Svein Tuft, Cam Evans, Will Routley, Marsh Cooper, and Andrew Pinfold. A final team roster will be announced in the near future. Symmetrics Cycling Director, Jeremy Storie remarks on the year ahead:

“We established ourselves as a North American force to be reckoned with in 2004. For 2005, we have expanded our race plan and rounded out our team in a concerted effort to develop and highlight our young talent. Registering as a UCI Continental Team was the next logical progression for our team. Our riders will be given the opportunity to race in more of North America’s premier events this coming season and we can raise the profile of our team and by extension our sponsors.”
