Tiaa Cref and Darren

Lill south African climber Darren might finish the season with US Pro team Tiaa Cref. Jonathan Vaughters may add Darren to his team if all goes well.

The real key for both parties is the future as Darren is still young and can still develop as a rider, and Cref will be entering the Continental Pro (Ex Division 2) ranks next year with an aim to enter the Pro tour in 2009.

It's been a lot of hard work to find Darren a team, a lot of talking, contacting negotiating etc etc, but if this works out it will all have been well worth it.

Working with J.Vaughters should be a good experience for Darren, as JV is a very knowlegable and scientific guy with a good support structure, good equipment and many invites to some great races... and of course a long term plan aimed at a solid future.
