"They are a great team and
have had great success in
Australia since 2003, so it's
awesome they are heading over
to the States to take on West
Coast and that I get to be part of
it. Consistency is integral and I
feel we have great bikes, a great
team of people and some excel-
lent partners. The biggest thing
for me is the bike; I feel we can
do well on it," Oldenburg said.
"This is a huge opportunity for
me and I am ready to give it my
all," Clout said. "I am riding well,
the bike is great and the team is
focused. I mean, the success
the team has had in Australia is
evident in the results they have
achieved, so it will be no differ-
ent in America. I can't wait." CN
