"My choice was influenced mainly owing to the fact that this team will be based in Spain and will allow me take part in many races in Europe. This will allow me to keep a "foot" in the European circuit while remaining in a part of the world that I love. Also, will enable me to get some exposure on the American circuit, since I will have to return to the United States to take part in the races Important races like the Tour of Georgia. I will be able to return at home often, while keeping the best of both worlds." said Parisien.
He also noted that the sporting director being Jonathan Vaughters also influenced his choice.
The 1 year contract comes with option for 2007.
Je suis heureux dofficialiser ma signature avec léquipe professionnelle américaine Tiaa-Cref.
Entrée en communication avec le directeur sportif Jonathan Vaughters il y a quelque temps, nous en sommes venus à une entente pour lannée 2006 avec une option sur lannée 2007.
Mon choix fut influencé en grande partie du fait que cette équipe sera basée en Espagne et du même coup, participera à de nombreuse course en europe. Ceci me permettra de garder un « pied » dans le circuit européen tout en restant dans une partie du monde que jaime.
Aussi, cela me permettra de me faire découvrir sur le circuit américain puisque je serai appelé à revenir au Etats-Unis pour participer aux courses dimportance comme le tour de Georgie.
Jaurai donc la chance de revenir chez moi plus souvent, tout en gardant le meilleur des deux monde.
