Bissell steps into the role of the title sponsor in 2008 for the former Priority Health Cycling Team,
presented by Bissell. The team made its professional debut in 2007 and quickly made headlines when
Ben Jacques-Maynes finished third in the prologue of the Amgen Tour of California by a scant four
seconds. Ben Jacques-Maynes was one of the most consistent riders in the domestic pro peloton in
2007, racking up six wins and finishing in the top five 24 times including a second place overall
in the National Racing Calendar individual points standing. This year the team has signed five new
riders to its 14 man roster. Notableadditions include third place finisher in the 2007 Tour of Ireland,
Aaron Olson, who rode the previous season with the German ProTour team T-Mobile, and two time
stage winner in the 2007 Tour of Southland, and sixth place finisher in the 2008 New Zealand National
Road Race and Time Trial Championships, Jeremy Vennell. Vennell rode the previous season with
DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed in Europe and is a strong stage racer who will add some needed horsepower
to the team’s overall firepower. This is a talented team of up and coming riders.
