December 3, 2005 – Going into 2006 Team Victory Brewing is excited to announce its final roster lead by Great Britain’s Rachel Heal. Rachel comes to race a full season in the US after being team leader of 2004 Team SATS from Denmark. Team schedule will be focusing on US National Race Calendar along with a couple of World Cups. Visit www.victorycycling.com for full details.

Catching up with Rachel:

“I’m really excited about joining the Victory Brewing team for 2006, having guested for them in 2005 I know” and like how the team operates. The team runs on a really friendly basis, but its proffessional and everyone gives 100% commitment to get the best results possible. Also Racing a full US season will be a new challenge for me as I’ve raced mainly in Europe for the past 5 years, but its a challenge I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in to. Being English, the Commonwealth games are a big target for me next year, but with the training I’ve done to get to good form in March I should hit the US racing already flying, so I’ll be hoping for some good results in the early races.”
