Monteleone with his USA U23 National TeamSee if you can spot Hincapie/Gary Fisher/Barkley racer, Christopher Monteleone in the latest issue of Velonews next time you are doing your bathroom reading. Monte aka "Blackfoot" has started his days of racing with us at the age of 15 as a Jr racer and has raced with us ever since. He is currently a member of the USA U23 National team living and racing in Belgium along with Phinney, and the best U23 talent in the nation. Although he has suffered some nasty crashes while there, probably his biggest obsticle has been that pesky Starbucks withdraw.
This is Monte's 2nd year with the U23 Team and is has seen him racing pretty much non-stop in Europe, competeing most recently in the U23 Paris-Roubaix last weekend. We have been very please as a team to have been part of his cycling experience and are honored to have him as a teammate. We have watched Monte grown in talent and maturity beyond his years, aided by the help of Dee, Monte's father and our longtime team soigneur. Our team is proud to aid Monte in his pursuits to secure a spot on a Pro Tour team in the next few years. Monte will return to the states in July, and be ripping it up with us flying the Hincapie/Gary Fisher/Barkley team colors. Oh yeah, he is the one on the left, deep in meditative thought...likely about when he gets to be back on his Gary Fisher. Way to go Monte! Later, Adam
