The Amgen Tour of California will be back for 2011, Anschutz Entertainment Group president Andrew Messick told VeloNews this week.

When asked whether the race, and presenting sponsor Amgen, will be back for 2011, Messick replied pointedly, “Yep.”

A source who declined to be named confirmed that headline sponsor Amgen, which was founded in Thousand Oaks, California, is signed on for the 2011 edition, the final year of a two-year extension of the company’s original partnership agreement.

Messick confirmed Sunday that his team will begin work on next year’s route in early June and plans to pursue the event’s first true mountaintop finish for 2011.

According to Messick, the 2011 race will again feature eight stages. “I don’t think that for 2011 we’ll look at expanding to nine days, but that is possible,” he said. “I think we want to go back to our core team — Jim (Birrell), Chris (Aronhalt) at Medalist and our guys — to see what we want to do for 2011 and what is required from our perspective to continue to take positive steps toward growing this race and making it increasingly relevant.”

The increasing relevance may come in the form of ProTour status for 2011. Messick has made no bones about his company’s intention to take the race to the top level of the sport and it appears that AEG may pursue that status for the next edition. This move would come with the stipulation that all ProTour teams field a squad for the event. It would also mean that Continental teams like Jelly Belly-Kenda and UnitedHealthcare-Maxxis would be excluded.

Lance Armstrong will return to racing, following his injury at the AMGEN Tour of California, at the Tour of Luxemburg (June 2-6).

RadioShack’s team also will include young Sam Bewley and Andreas Kloden. Armstrong won the Luxembourg race in 1998.

Team SpiderTech powered by Planet Energy confirm their place while glimpsing the future at the Amgen Tour of California

Team nets four top 10s, Euser marks return by finishing 18th GC

Thousand Oaks, CA: The future looks bright for Team SpiderTech powered by Planet Energy, which completed its inaugural trek around the Golden State yesterday at the Amgen Tour of California, the most prestigious bicycle race in the United States. The team’s top General Classification rider was Napa, California native Lucas Euser, who placed eighteenth overall in the race won by Australian Michael Rogers (HTC-Columbia). Three other riders – David Boily, Bruno Langois and Andrew Randell – from Canada’s only UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) continental team finished the eight-day, 1280-kilometer race that began in Nevada City on May 16th and ended in Thousand Oaks. En route, Team SpiderTech powered by Planet Energy placed riders in the top 10 in the first four stages of the California race.

“We came to race and we did from the start,” said team director Steve Bauer. “We put riders in the breaks and really raced. We didn’t just go along for the ride. Sure, we hit the wall in Stage 6 (the brutal Queen’s stage saw nearly forty riders drop out or miss the time cut, including Team SpiderTech’s Eric Boily, Guillaume Boivin, Martin Gilbert and Francois Parisien), but part of that was because we raced aggressively from the start. We held nothing back and proved that we belonged in this race.

“I think we also got a glimpse of the future this week and we’re very pleased. Guillaume scored two top 10 finishes and he will turn twenty-one on Tuesday (May 25). David is another young rider to watch. He turned twenty last month. Give him another couple of years to develop and gain experience, and he’ll be right up there. It’s great to see Lucas back after all that he’s been through. He’s worked really hard and we haven’t seen the best of him yet as he’s only at around ninety-percent of his ability. This is an exciting young team that is only going to get stronger, especially after racing with the world’s best in events like the Tour of California.”

Euser started the race almost one year to the day that his career, and perhaps even his life, nearly ended after colliding with a car while training in Gerona, Spain. Euser shattered his knee and endured a nearly year-long rehabilitative process before returning to competition. Several months before he was contacted about joining the team, he experienced great results while using SpiderTech’s revolutionary pre-cut kinesiology taping applications during his recovery.

Team SpiderTech powered by Planet Energy is a gifted squad of Canadian Olympians and national champions that are all capable of winning races. Thus far this season, eight different riders have netted the team’s twelve UCI wins. The team’s next major goals come in June at the TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship (June 6) and on Canadian turf at the UCI Individual Time Trial in Gatineau, Quebec (June 12) where Parisien and Ryan Roth will represent the team, and at the Tour de Beauce (June 15-20).

Since 2006, the Amgen Tour of California has blossomed into one of the most important races on the international calendar. Sixteen professional teams were invited to compete from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the U.S. Participants included many of the biggest stars in cycling, including seven-time Tour de France victor Lance Armstrong, his RadioShack teammate Levi Leipheimer, Tom Boonen (Quick Step), Mark Cavendish (HTC-Columbia), Saxo Bank’s Andy Schleck and Fabian Cancellara, and David Zabriskie (Garmin-Transitions).

Team SpiderTech powered by Planet Energy scored top 10 finishes in the following stages:

Stage 1: Boivin – 7th
Stage 2: Parisien – 6th
Stage 3: Parisien – 9th
Stage 4: Boivin – 10th

Thousand Oaks, California — As the curtain closed on the 2010 Amgen Tour of California, Team Type 1 achieved what it had been hoping to since it opened up the eight-day stage race one Sunday ago. When Team Type 1’s Thomas Rabou crossed the line safely inside stage eight’s time cut, he confirmed his hold on the California Travel and Tourism King of the Mountains jersey, arguably the biggest accomplishment in Team Type 1’s history. To further Team Type 1’s achievements, Valeriy Kobzarenko and Chris Jones improved on their positions in the overall classification standings with strong rides on what was an extremely challenging day.

When Team Type 1 rolled out of Thousand Oaks, California, they were facing 83 miles of hilly terrain that would test the reserves of an already tired peloton. It was a day that breakaway artists were excited about, as the profile lent itself perfectly to those who wanted to thwart the general classification contenders. One man who had shown a penchant for the attack many times this week was Team Type 1’s Dutch climbing sensation, Thomas Rabou. As he had already done twice, earlier in the week, Rabou found himself in the day’s main breakaway. As with his breakaway in stage 6’s queen stage that climbed to Big Bear Lake, Rabou was among elite company, joining many Pro-Tour level riders as they made their bid for freedom.

Rabou had promised to show himself a worthy wearer of the King of the Mountain jersey wearer, and once the break was established, Rabou helped drive the pace and took the day’s second and third King of the Mountain sprints. The two victories were Rabou’s eleventh and twelfth of the week, giving him a total of 77 points overall. Rabou’s work bumped his winning margin out to 50 points over American Road Race Champion George Hincapie (BMC Racing Team), who finished second in the King of the Mountains competition.

When the attacks out of the leading group began in earnest, Rabou was able to ride the rest of the stage safe in the knowledge that he would finish as the King of the Mountain winner. With that classification assured, Team Type 1’s focus could turn to its two general classification threats, Valeriy Kobzarenko and Chris Jones, who entered the day in sixteenth and seventeenth overall, respectively.

Just behind the main general classification contenders was an elite chase group that emerged in the carnage which erupted on the final of four climbs up Mullholland Highway. In that group were Kobzarenko and Jones, who rarely left each other side when the going got tough. When the dust settled, Kobzarenko had taken fourteenth on the stage while Jones’ work was good for eighteenth for the day, placing two Team Type 1 riders in the top twenty in two of the most challenging days in the history of the Amgen Tour of California.

Kobzarenko and Jones’ performances came with an added bonus, as each was able to work their way up the general classification. Thanks to his fourteenth place, Kobzarenko was able to move his way up to the same ranking on the general classification, with Jones only two spots behind, in sixteenth overall. Spent from his earlier effort, Rabou rolled across the line almost six minutes behind the day’s winner, but still managed to move up to twenty-sixth overall. Of the sixty-three riders that finished this year’s Tour of California, five were on on Team Type 1, a set of results that earned the team fifth on the overall team classification, besting a majority of Pro-Tour and Professional Continental teams in the process.

The biggest story of the week, however, was the dominant fashion in which Rabou won the King of the Mountains competition. Rabou was the class of the climbers over much of the Tour of California’s uphill sectors, and was truly the classification’s worthy victor. Rabou even went a step further, honoring the jersey in the race’s final stage, when he could have just as easily sat back and soft-pedaled his way to the win.

Stage eight brought an history week for Team Type 1 to a close. Over the course of the 2010 Amgen Tour of California, Team Type 1 brought home a classification jersey, had a top ten finish and a number of top twenty results. In the mountains, Team Type 1 was first across fifteen King of the Mountain points and had one rider named the day’s Most Courageous Rider. Few could have expected the success that Team Type 1 enjoyed over the previous week, but the team overwhelmingly proved why they were invited to the Tour of California and why they are considered one of the best teams in America.

San Luis Obispo, CA – 23rd May 2010 – HTC-Columbia’s Michael Rogers withstood an onslaught of attacks at the finale of the Amgen Tour of California on Sunday to take the biggest victory in his career. With the whole race split to pieces by the tough climb up from Malibu and finished safely to retain his overall lead of the race.

“It was a really tough race,” said Rogers. “I knew the last stage of this race wasn’t going to be a walk in the park, but I didn’t realize it would be that tough. It was obvious early on that Garmin and Radio Shack were going to attack on the fourth lap so we were ready for it. They really stuck it to us and I’m really happy that we could hold on. It was a really tough course.

“This is a very big day for us,” said Rogers. “With HTC-Columbia being an American Team based in California, this race is second only to the Tour de France in importance.

“I’m really happy that I could rely so much on my team this week. It’s amazing what a team can do together when they have the yellow jersey. They really stepped up to the occasion to win this race.

Rogers’ success in California confirms a remarkable season for the Australian, having already won Tour of Andalusia earlier in the season and holding the yellow jersey in Tour of Romandie last month.

“I made a lot of changes this year with my training and my approach to cycling and winning this Tour is really a very satisfying step for me.”
