Team Kuota-road.cc visited Chester yesterday to promote the upcoming Halfords Tour Series. Chester will host  Round 9 on June 21st when things should be boiling up nicely ahead of the series finale in Woking.

Team managers Cherie Pridham and Eddie White along with riders Dan Davies, Jon Mozley, Jeroen 'JJ' Janssen,  Matt Bailey and Jefte de Bruin were welcomed to the town by Cllr Mike Jones and Cllr Richard Short. Kuota-road.cc are the town's adopted team for the Tour Series and the guys were doing their best to drum up local support with interviews for the local press and TV.

The 1.3Km course around Chester town centre should suit the town's adopted team, with JJ and Jefte de Bruin being particular at home on the cobbled sections.
