With the new year well underway Team Two Wheel Industries have already begun preparation for the 2009 season.
With team members Ben Hill and Sam Layzell attending Tasmania’s Tour of Mersey Valley (11th-13th April), training has commenced to build base fitness for the year. By completing long rides of up to 150kms, riders develop a solid base fitness to build on in the coming year. The stronger the base, the higher the riders fitness peak can be later in the season.
The teams first full squad race will be the NAB Blaney to Bathurst on 19th April, followed by the Canberra Tour two weeks later 1st-3rd May. The team will again look to Hill, Layzell and John Ebling to excel in these races due to their hilly profiles.
The Sydney Road Championships on 30th May will mark the first real opportunity for the teams strong men, with last years winner Brad Scarfe and 4th place getter Jarrett Wood looking again to stand out on the flat roads.
The team will also be targeting various other races during the season, namley the Tamworth Two day Tour in August, Goulburn to Citi and Grafton to Inverell in September.
