Interesting Facts

John had a break-out season in 2008, earning the overall and points competition titles at the Tour of Taiwan, and finishing 5th in the NRC Individual Points Competition. Murph continues to improve his sprinting and will be looking for more opportunities in 2009. He spent the first six of his ten years of racing on a mountain bike - thus 2009 will be his 6th season of road racing. If he was not a pro cyclist he would be in school working toward his degree.
