TEAM COAST FROM 1999-2003
Team Coast (Germany) had something of a short life span and regrettably the money ran out in early 2003 (you simply couldn’t sell enough jeans to make it all fly). The team lasted through the second half of 2003 courtesy of Bianchi and they performed well at the TdeF 2003. Sponsors were Coast (clothing & jeans), groupsets were Campagnolo and framesets were the iconic, highly desirable celeste Bianchi. Team kit was gold-black but they also had a blue-black option that was also easy on the eye.
The team itself was a highly fancied group albeit some maybe past their “best before date” but a classy peloton nevertheless. Alex Zulle won the 2002 Tour of Switerland, plus a stage at Paris Nice, and the team featured at the Tour of Spain (courtesy of several notable Spanish team members on the team roster) . Jan Ullrich led the team at the 2003 Tour de France with team mates Thomas Liese (rode in Aussie at the Comm Bank Classic in the late 1990’s), Angel Casero, Fernando Escartin, Manuel Beltran, Mauro Gianetti, Lars Michaelson, Frank Hoj and Roland Meier.
