Team Ford-Basis stops as Ford MTB team continues

After three years sponsoring the Ford-Basis Women's cycling team, Ford and Basis will be leaving women's road cycling. The Ford-Basis women's team has stopped racing but the Ford Cycling Women's Mountain Bike Team will be back in 2006.

Team Ford-Basis was founded in 2002 as a developmental team aimed at helping up-and-coming riders progress towards the 2008 Olympics. "The highlight of the past three years was watching these riders develop from top collegiate riders to some of the brightest prospects on the American cycling scene," said founder Nicole Freedman. "It was an amazing group of racers and outstanding women."
