2005 TOUR DE GEORGIA

TEAM PRESENTATIONS

Monday, 18 April 2005.  

    After the two press conferences the circus moved to the outdoor amphitheater for the team presentations.  This event was open to the public and attracted a large and appreciative crowd.  It was kicked off by the playing of the national anthem by a military band which also provided a musical backdrop throughout the entire ceremony.  Next the emcees came out and introduced themselves before welcoming the crowd.  This years podium girls were then introduced and interviewed.

   The first team introduced was the United States National "Under 23" Team.  This group of young men represent the future of United States professional cycling.  While these guys are still very young they are a very strong and competitive team.
