Mauricio Soler has finally arrived at the Team Barloworld training camp in Tuscany, where he caught up with his old and new team mates as they get ready for the 2008 season. Soler was delayed by visa problems in Colombia but is now ready to work hard for the new season.
“I’ve had a busy but fruitful winter. I recharged my batteries but also worked hard to resolve several minor physical problems that affected my racing last year. I’m optimistic and full of enthusiasm for the new season. There’s a great atmosphere in the Barloworld team and at the training camp,” the Tour de France best polka-dot jersey winner said.
All the Team Barloworld riders are now training hard in Tuscany except for Augustyn who has stayed in South Africa after his serious injury he suffered in 2007.
Despite the arrival of several new riders, team manager Claudio Corti and Directeur Sportifs Alberto Volpi, Valerio Tebaldi and Flavio Miozzo have already created the same team spirit that inspired the team in 2007 and helped them achieve so much.
Chris Fisher, the Head of Corporate Marketing at Barloworld further motivated the riders during several important meetings and presentations, with special attention given to how the riders represent the team’s sponsors and how they deal with the media.
“We’ve already created a good team spirit and I’m pleased to see that the new riders are quickly feeling an integral part of the team,” Corti said. “Barloworld is a good team with an excellent team spirit. It’s an important factor in professional racing because it’s the foundation for the results we’ve achieved so far and for those we want to achieve in the future.”
