With the longest running title sponsor in the US pro peloton, the Jelly Belly Cycling Team celebrates its 10th anniversary on the road this year. The team posted some impressive results in 2008, both at home and abroad, and the ‘09 squad will look to veteran strongmen Brad Huff and Bernard van Ulden to continue their winning ways. Promising new rider Kiel Reijnen, who joins the squad from Waste Management Cycling Team, Jelly Belly’s developmental team, will surely be one to watch.
The squad is led by Team Director Danny Van Haute whose talented riders are eager to build on their strong 2008 results.
