[size=2]李富玉加入Discovery!First Chinese rider to ProTour
The signing of Fuyu Li by the Discovery Channel team makes him the first-ever Chinese rider to gain a contract at cycling's highest level.
In another first, Li became the first Chinese rider to win a UCI stage race at the Tour of Thailand this season. He also recorded wins at the GP Westfalen in Germany, and finished third in the time trial and road race at the Chinese national championships.
"Fuyu has proven that he is a strong rider, has had some impressive results and we are excited to have him as a member of our team," said team manager Johan Bruyneel. "He will certainly need some time to get used to the speed and style of racing, but I will design a program that allows him to be successful. I am sure he will adapt quickly."
Currently at the Great Wall cycling festival, the largest amateur bicycle racing and participatory event in China, Li was naturally delighted to be signed by one of the world's best teams. "I am so very happy that Johan has selected me to be a part of the Discovery Channel Team," he said.
"This is a dream come true for me and I am excited to be the first Chinese rider to race at this elite level. I can only hope that this will increase the awareness for the sport and also cycling participation in China."
Li's signing has expanded the international flavour of the Discovery Channel team to include riders from 12 countries so far.
Johan Bruyneel的评价：“李富玉证明自己是一个有实力的车手，取得了一些令人印象深刻的成绩，我们很高兴他成为我们的一员...他需要时间来适应比赛的速度和方式，我会为他设计迈向成功的工作计划。我相信他很快就能适应。”
李：“我非常高兴Johan选择我加入Discovery...这是我梦寐以求的一天，我很高兴成为第一个进入顶级比赛的中国自行车运动员。我希望这可以提高自行车运动在中国的知名度，使更多的人参与进来。”
Discovery目前由来自12个国家的车手组成。[/size]
