Webcor Builders Women roster announced

For the upcoming season, the Webcor Builders Women's team will once again be headlined by reigning US National TT Champion and Olympian, Christine Thorburn. In addition to the strong support of returning riders: Felicia Greer, Stefanie Graeter, Cat Malone, Betina Hold, Yukie Nakamura and Kim Boester, the team has added Katheryn Curi and Erinne Willock, both previously with RONA. Also returning from 2004 is team director and former National Criterium Champion, Carmen D'Aluisio.

"I don't think a lot of people realize just how strong Katheryn and Erinne are ­ they are capable of winning races in their own right, but rode in tireless support of their team leader all last year," said Webcor Builders manager and former World TT Champion, Karen Brems. "The team is much more balanced this year in terms of strength, and I think we have preserved the great chemistry that got us our results last year," Brems added. That chemistry was exhibited when the team got together in the San Francisco Bay Area for a weekend of low-key riding and a fun evening at the Webcor Builders Company Holiday Party.

In 2004, the Webcor Builders Women's team was a group of motivated, talented, but relatively inexperienced racers from Northern California. It was a first year team with a modest budget. Through dedication, learning and teamwork, the team achieved success beyond anyone's wildest expectations. Webcor Builders had 6 National Racing Calendar wins, several more national podium appearances and put a rider on the US Olympic team.
