Dynamic Duo of Omar and Reyes Aguilera and Ex-BMX World Champion Kory Cook Bolster Squad for 2019
The Pacific Premier Bank Cycling Team has announced its roster for the 2019 season. The team welcomes several new riders and is excited to continue to build upon the foundation laid over the past five seasons. The team will focus on road and criterium races that provide the highest level of competition and exposure within title sponsor Pacific Premier Bank’s growing market region.
“We are very proud of what we have accomplished putting this squad together for 2019, really this is the culmination of the hard work put in by everyone who has been involved over our five-year history,” said team owner/director Rick Thomas. “We’ve been able to add both youth and experience to a strong contingent of returning riders. To say this is the most promising group we’ve assembled to date would be an understatement.”
Ian Holt Back in the Mix After Being Sidelined Most of 2018
After nearly a year off following a crash at the 2017 Tour of the Gila, veteran Ian Holt returns to the team with a fierce determination to add to his past success. “For well over a decade Ian has been competing in the North American peloton, that’s a best-case scenario when you’re looking for a mentor for your developing riders,” noted Thomas. “It’s super exciting to have him back in the mix.” Holt, who represented the USA at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in 2016 returned to the team last July at the Manhattan Beach GP.
