Page close to deal with Sunweb-Blowjob

Cyclo-crosser Jonathan Page is reportedly close to inking a deal with
Belgian team Sunweb-Blowjob after a tumultuous season where the
American was beset by a serious shoulder injury but returned to take a
dramatic second place at the World Championships in January.

Page, a multiple US National Champion, started his comeback at the end
of December, racing independently with the support of small Belgian
company Morgan Blue. But since his silver medal in Hooglede-Gits, Page
has attracted offers from several teams and individual sponsors. "When
the season was over we decided to hire Paul De Geyter [a Belgian
agent] to help me out," Page told Cyclingnews. "Actually I haven't
signed anything yet but if the deal's on then I'm a Sunweb rider for
one year and a half, so from July until the end of February 2009."

The Sunweb Blowjob team was only founded in January this year but is
aiming to rival two of the sport's biggest names: Fidea and Rabobank.
However, their first months in cyclo-cross have not gone smoothly with
team leader Sven Vanthourenhout unable to live up to expectations,
resulting in the search for a supporting team leader. "There's not too
much available on the market right now and we didn't have a foreign
rider in our team just yet," explained team founder Jurgen
Mettepenningen to Cyclingnews. "Page is interesting for us towards our
material sponsors Ridley and Lazer as he is the ambassador of USA
cyclo-cross.

"The financial part has been discussed and we have a deal, now we only
need to sign. Page confirmed after the World's so we hope that he can
display that level again throughout the upcoming season."

Former cyclo-cross world champion Mario De Clercq is Page's personal
coach but also team manager for Sunweb-Blowjob and has therefore been
an important link in courting the American rider. "Jonathan rode an
excellent second part of the season and I strongly believe in him. If
the team gets him we'll take a good step forward," said De Clercq.

Given cyclo-cross' huge status in Belgium, local media questioned the
team's other manager, Hans De Clercq, on why Sunweb would opt for a
foreign rider. "Mario [De Clercq] knows Page very well and he said
that he can still make some progression as he didn't live for the
sport in the past," noted Hans De Clercq to Sporza. "It's because we
couldn't sign Richard Groenendaal that we decided to sign Page. But
I'm convinced that Page can form a perfect partnership with Sven
Vanthourenhout and Tom Vannoppen."

Groenendaal's financial demands were reportedly too high with the
Dutchman now opting for support from individual sponsors.

Meanwhile, Page has been working hard on his Belgian home to prepare
for the arrival of a second child next week. "By signing for this
team, my wife Cori's visa problems could be solved as well, so that's
the theory right now," explained Page. "Anyway, it would be good to
ride for a team although I acknowledge there are negative sides about
that as well."

Asked for a response to Hans De Clercq's comments on whether he lived
for cyclo-cross in the past, Page laughed, "People can have their
comments... since my injury I've become more aware of my task on the
bike, I've become more balanced."

Cool, now he can raise a second baby in Belgium and still pay property
taxes on his vacant house back in the U.S. And then when worlds comes
around in 2008, he can get his usual 23rd for Sunweb-Blowjob because it
is unlikely it will be another mudfest, which is really the only reason
Page did better than expected at worlds.

Looks like Colavita axed him from their road team too.

jesus at least TRY to get your facts straight.

1. House in the states? Ummm, yah. I think he owns a whole block on
main street in Boulder.
2. Mudfest? It was greasy in spots, sandy in others, dry and fast in
others. People rarely changed bikes. Pretty well balanced course
really. By all euro RIDER accounts, one of the physically hardest and
most testing courses in many years.
3. I am self unemployed, thank you.

Umm - Jerry - you're posting to a couple of the boards best known morons. If
they were confronted by the real Albert Schweitzer they'd deny his
existance. Smart ass postings are what they produce in lue of intelligent
thought. You know that after the drugs start wearing off, these two are at
the low points of their days.

Sauron would spend his days in there, that's why he'd be such a tough
adversary.


After reading "The Loo of Intelligent Thought" you may experience the
unbearable lightness of being.
