Expect to see Brooke Miller, Kat Carroll, Amber Rais and the rest of Team TIBCO all over the front of the Burlingame Criterium Sunday

Come watch Team TIBCO bust it in Burlingame this Sunday!

Los Altos, California – This Sunday, Team TIBCO, the fastest start-up in Silicon Valley, will take its speed show to downtown Burlingame for the Burlingame Criterium. The women’s race, run around a tight, technical 0.7-mile course, starts at 1:30 p.m.

Team TIBCO is looking to dominate the race the same way it did the Santa Cruz Criterium in April, where the team stacked the podium. Leading the charge will be U.S. National Road and Criterium Champion Brooke Miller. Miller will have powerhouse support from Amber Rais, who dominated the Tour de Nez in her hometown of Reno last weekend. Also racing will be rising stars Alison Starnes and Rushlee Buchanan along with Katharine Carroll, Emma Rickards, and Alison Rosenthal, all experienced riders who have been key to many of the team’s top performances this year

“It’s not often you get to see one of the top teams in North America race in your own backyard,” said Team TIBCO founder and manager Linda Jackson. “We have a ton of supporters in the Bay area, and on the Peninsula and Silicon Valley in particular, who have been with us since we were a small startup just a few years ago. They’ve been critical to our growth and success. So it’s important to the team that we race close to home and invite all those people to join us and really make it more than just another race on the calendar, but a celebration of their contribution to the team’s success.”

Starnes Takes 3rd Overall at Madera Stage Race

Madera, CA – Alison Starnes and Alison Rosenthal of Team TIBCO had a steep task at the Madera Stage Race this past weekend, contending with a strong elite women’s field that included full squads from several teams, including Touchstone Climbing.

“With just two of us, we were definitely outnumbered amongst the other teams,” Starnes said.

Despite that, both riders posted strong results, with Starnes garnering a 3rd place in the time trial and 2nd in the road race en route to finishing third overall on GC. Rosenthal also took home a 5th place in the opening stage criterium Saturday morning.

“We were going for a stage win in the crit with Ali R.,” Starnes explained. “I was supposed to lead her out, but failed to get into the final corner in the front position. She was forced to jump onto another train, and did a great sprinting effort for 5th.”

Saturday afternoon, Starnes was going all out for the win in the time trial but had to settle for 3rd, which put her in 3rd on GC, and needing to win Sunday’s road race to acquire the time bonus to win the overall GC.
