Hey guys here's an interesting one. Theo Bos former two time sprint world champion and Olympic silver medalist has decided to ride the road & has already recorded a podium result.
Most would think that it is impossible to go from being a 200m specialist to a 200km specialist in the span of a year? But Bos is going to give it a go & no doubt make some cash doing it....
From http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id= ... /nov25news:
The road will be 'home' for Theo Bos next season, as the track star focuses his energies on another cycling discipline. The 25-year-old multiple world champion will continue to ride for his current team, Rabobank, and will be a part of the continental team, headed by Nico Verhoeven.
Accoridng to news agency ANP, the Cervelo team, already boasting sprinter Thor Hushovd, was apparently also interested in signing Bos, although the 'fit' of Dutch sprint star and a team from his homeland was too good.
Bos, who took third in the Amstel Curaçao Race earlier this month, officially begins life as a road rider on January 1 to his new adventure. "I've started in a new direction in my life, especially cycling," said Bos. "The good guidance from, among others, team leaders and trainers, made me decide that this opportunity was the one to take," the Dutchman added.
Bos' days on the track are not completely over, however. The 2012 Olympic Games in London are still a realistic ambition. "I don't think I should have to choose just one or the other; this opportunity has come at the right time for me."
What happened to the BOSman???
