Credit Agricole Cycling Team


Credit Agricole achieves a lot with little investment, but saying that, 2005 will be tough for them in the Pro-Tour and may stretch there budget. Hushovd and Kirsipuu will win some sprints and Christophe Moreau will be trying to do something in the Tour de France, a high place is possible, but not much else.

Hi, my name is Aklilu Goitom. I am from Eritrea but now I am based in South Africa. I am a professoinal cyclist. I have entered many races in and around South Africa. I have won some and came in good positon in others.

I was also on the the tour Ivorian del paix in March 2008. If it is possible I would like to join the team Credit Agricol.
Since you are in France, this will give me the opportunity to join other races there and be a great contribution to the team.
