Lyne Bessette Update

Lyne will be fine, from what we understand - broken clavicle, but no separation, so it should heal fast.

Andrew Randell, 2002 Canadian National Road Champion, has renewed his contract with the Jet Fuel Coffee team for the 2004 season.

Andrew's racing ability and his commitment to help develop the younger riders on the team has made Andrew the team's priority signing for the 2004 season. With the team's 2004 plans including a return to European racing, Andrew's experience will be invaluable. While racing with the team in 2002 he won stages at two different events in Europe (Ringerike Grand Prix, Norway and Milk RAS, Ireland).

Besides cycling Andrew attends Ryerson University in Toronto and you can catch him behind the counter at the Jet Fuel Coffee shop during the week.

In 2004 the Jet Fuel Coffee team will be entering its sixth season as Canada's longest running UCI registered trade team. The team has successfully mixed espoir aged riders (four in 2003, 5 in 2002) with veteran riders to place on the podium over 150 times in the past six seasons.
