Today is January 16th, it has been exactly 16 days since our upcoming plans had been turned upside down and spun around. This blog entry serves the purpose to explain the little tease which we left you with last time.
The story starts on New Years day as Gregg was wishing all of his friends a Happy New Year over MSN after a fun night of Wedding festivities at the Wedding of Doug Berry and Brandi Bara in Houston Texas. After wishing a friend in Belgium a Happy New Year they began discussing Gregg's racing situation for the year. At the time the outlook was non-existant as he spent months talking with American team directors, who all seemed to downplay his level of previous racing experience. This friend is working as an assistant for a Continental cycling team based out of Belgium, and told Gregg to email the team director of that team as they were still looking for a few more riders.
So to make a long story short, Gregg emailed the team director, negotiated a contract, and will now be racing as a member of the Klaipeda Splendid Cycling Team. He will be flying into Belgium on the 12th of February, and starts his first pro race of the year in the beginning of March.
The Official announcement was made on their website yesturday (January 15/07) http://www.wielersportteam.be/continentaalcyclingteam.html and for the majority who can not read dutch there is a brief mention on the website http://www.cycling4all.com/
saying
" Bart De Spiegelaere (Bel) has sigend a pro-contract with the team of manager Tuerlinckx. The team has also
and agreement with Gregg Germer (Usa) = ex-pro from the Flanders Team. "
We will keep you posted on further information as it becomes available, hope everyone has been having a great 2007 so far.
Take Care
Holly & Gregg
