Team Columbia-HTC men's team has convened at Club La Santa in Lanzarote, Spain this week for the team's first training camp with the full 2010 team. The roster of 28 riders will spend ten days in planning, fittings, bike set up, testing and training on the windy volcanic Island.

"It's really great to have all of the guys together for the first time," says Team Manager Rolf Aldag. "We have eleven new riders on the roster and it's a good chance for them all to get to know each other and for the new guys to learn how we do things on this team. All of our individual meetings are going well and I have a really good feeling about 2010.

"The Island is perfect for training at any time of year," added Aldag.  We can train in short sleeves and we have the support of Club La Santa and the local government here so we feel very welcome."
