FFCC Announces the Kudzu.com Elite U23 Team

Atlanta, GA—Kudzu.com has offered the backing necessary for an elite U23 team under the umbrella of the Fulton Flyers Cycling Club (FFCC). The team continues where the junior development program left off by bringing together a core roster of some of the strongest U23 riders in the southeast. All of the riders have a demonstrated ability to be competitive at top national events.

The team’s younger riders are Joey Rosskopf and Oscar Clark, both of whom finished in the top 10 at junior road nationals in 2007 and were part of the powerful Southeast Regional Tour de l’Abitibi team. Joey also spent part of the season in 2007 riding for the national team while Oscar is fresh off a top 20 finish at the U23 Cyclocross nationals in Kansas City. The team has more experience in Jaefer Beizer and Thomas Brown who are both former members of the FFCC junior team. Jafer is the Georgia State Cat 2 RR champion while Thomas earned a top 5 placing at Collegiate Criterium Nationals in 2007.

“I really look forward to working with these guys”, said Jeremy Hutchison-Krupat, Director of the Kudzu.com U23 Team. “I have long been impressed with their talents as individuals, but I have been even more impressed to see the extent to which each of these guys will lay it on the line for one another as team members. Look for great things from these guys!”

The team’s focus is on the southeast regional Pro-1-2 races as well as a number of National Calendar events.
