In Joint Press Conference with CSC, Number-One-Ranked Team CSC Names Riders for La Grande Boucle EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- During a joint press conference held in London this morning, Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) and Team CSC today announced the nine cyclists who will represent Team CSC, the number-one team in the world, during the 2006 Tour de France. Team CSC's Tour de France roster includes Ivan Basso (Italy), Bobby Julich (USA), Giovanni Lombardi (Italy), Stuart O'Grady (Australia), Carlos Sastre (Spain), Frank Schleck (Luxembourg), Christian Vande Velde (USA), Jens Voigt (Germany) and David Zabriskie (USA). Basso is widely considered a favorite in this race after his recent win of the Giro d'Italia. Previously, he placed third in the 2004 Tour de France and second in 2005. "During our six-year partnership with Team CSC, we've watched them work as a team to grow, excel and systematically reach the important milestones they've set out for themselves," said CSC President and COO Mike Laphen. "This commitment to proven processes and long-term view is just one of the many characteristics we share with Team CSC. We look forward to watching Ivan lead the team to that next milestone -- a win at the Tour de France." "We are bringing a fantastic team to Tour de France this year," said Bjarne Riis, owner and manager of Team CSC. "When you look at the names, you cannot help but notice that this is a team to be reckoned with -- a team which has the foundation to be one of the dominating ones in the 2006 edition of the Tour. We go to France this year with one ambition: to win with Ivan Basso. After his victory in the Giro, and with the training he has done in the period since then, I have no doubt he is ready for this next big challenge. He has the class, the willpower and also the team behind him to be one of the favorites." The Tour de France departs Strasbourg, France, on Saturday, July 1, and finishes in Paris on Sunday, July 23.
