Euro-Devo Scholarship program to fund young Michigan riders to race in Europe
A just-announced cycling scholarship program is helping promising young cyclists from the state of Michigan obtain racing experience in Europe.

Brian Adams, who raced with the Cycling Center in Belgium in 2001-2002, has organized the Euro-Devo Scholarship. Now 32 and a physical therapist operating a sports medicine clinic for the University of Michigan, Adams says he hopes to subsidize four Michigan riders who plan to spend all or part of the 2006 season racing in Europe.

The scholarship program has multiple goals, stated Adams. In addition to helping offset the costs of racing full-time in Europe, he said he hopes Euro-Devo will generate a pool of interested and qualified riders that can be accepted at programs like the Cycling Center, and also to accelerate the growth and development of elite U23 racing in the state of Michigan.

Bernard Moerman, director of the Cycling Center in Hertsberge, Belgium, said the Euro-Devo Scholarship will help ensure that talented young riders ready to race in Europe have the opportunity.

Support is being offered this year solely to riders from the state of Michigan, although Adams said he hopes to see the scholarship expand in the future. For more information on the program and a downloadable scholarship application, go to www.eurodevo.com.

Applications for the 2006 season are due February 15th. Don’t delay!!!
Cycling Center will be doing their traditional Spring Camp in Tucson and racing in the Valley of The Sun stage race.
