    Tyler Farrar from Wenatchee. for Those of You Who Are Following the Tour De France, You Will Recognize the Name Tyler Farrar

    Tyler Farrar from Wenatchee. For those of you who are following the Tour de France, you will recognize the name Tyler Farrar. He is from the town where I live, Wenatchee. The fact that he is not only in the Tour, but also doing well, has really created a buzz of excitement here. The local newspaper, The Wenatchee World, has a daily spot about the race so we can all keep up to date with how Tyler is doing. What we are holding our breath for, is the sprint into Paris. He will be against Mark Cavendish, the English missile, and other sprinters such as Thor Hushov and Alessandro Petacchi. My husband and I are amazingly addicted to the tour; we have it taped, and so, in the evenings, that's what we watch. Sorry kids, no cartoons. Tyler's father lives and works in Wenatchee; he is a surgeon, and is often seen biking in the local parks. Tyler must have been an unusual child for this area of the States. Most boys become deeply involved in baseball, basketball, or football. Now, soccer and hockey are also popular. However, Tyler started competitive biking when he was only thirteen years old. His father said that from then on, he knew that cycling was what he wanted to do. He is still young, only twenty-seven, so he has many years of cycling ahead of him. As far as his training is concerned, he lives in Ghent, in Belgium. His upbringing here in Wenatchee served him well for building strength and stamina for cycling.

Tim had in december langzaamaan de training hervat nadat hij lange tijd out was door fysiek ongemak. Tijdens verschillende wedstrijden moest Tim de strijd staken door duizeligheid en grondig medisch onderzoek was nodig. Hierdoor ontbrak hij op de deelnemerslijst van recente zesdaagses en wereldbekerwedstrijden. Op naar 2010 (31/12/2009) Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator neemt afscheid van een bewogen jaar 2009, een jaar om nooit te vergeten. Vanwege de renners, ploegleiding, personeel, management en sponsors wensen we alle supporters en wielerliefhebbers het allerbeste voor een vreugdevol, succesvol en gezond 2010! Eens nieuwjaar gepasseerd gaat het weer vlug vooruit. Op 2 januari al staan de Belgische kampioenschappen omnium op de piste gepland, en kort nadien is er de zesdaagse van Rotterdam. Van 13 tot en met 24 januari zitten de wegrenners op trainingsstage in het Spaanse Calpe. Net als vorig jaar krijgen ze even het gezelschap van fotograaf Tim Dewaele en worden er videobeelden gedraaid. Meer daarvan later dus op onze website. En in januari zullen we de nieuwkomers in de ploeg weer één voor één voorstellen.

Dat is een ganse eer voor hem, maar vooral voor gans ons team! Je zou Peter en gans het Callant team heel veel plezier doen door ook een stem uit te brengen voor hem.
