Team Cyclocrossworld.com-Cannondale Profile
Following its stunning successes in the 2007-08 cyclocross season, Team Cyclocrossworld.com-Cannondale returns for 2008-09 with a beefed up line-up. Defending U.S. Elite National Champion Tim Johnson welcomes back teammate Jeremy Powers from last year’s squad and will relish the addition of young up-and-comer Jamey Driscoll to the fold.
In addition to winning the stars-and-stripes jersey at the Kansas City nationals, Tim Johnson also claimed his third straight New England series title as well as finishing second overall in the USGP series, including two USGP wins. Tim, 31, wrapped up the year with a strong finish at the UCI World Championships in Italy.
Jeremy Powers, 25, put together his strongest season ever in 2007-8, winning numerous UCI events, including one stop of the USGP and the prestigious Grand Prix of Gloucester. Jeremy brings years of international ‘cross experience back to Cyclocrossworld.com-Cannondale and looks to build off his best road season in years.

We’re really looking forward to this year and I think this is our strongest-ever line-up.”
