The Tour of South China Sea is the last race of the Discovery Channel Marco Polo Team, as the team’s name will change into Trek – Marco Polo Cycling Team in 2008!
The riders (some participating in China national team, or their provincial team) were fairly successful in this tour, although no victory could be claimed.
Highlights were the 2nd and 3rd places of Sergey in sprints, a 9th place of Zhang Li and Liu Yilin showing potential with a 12th place in the final climbing stage.
Too bad that Fuyu Li had a mechanical problem in the last stage.

Leon van Bon will ride for the Trek – Marco Polo Cycling Team in 2008. The current Rabobank Pro Tour rider will race most of the important races on the UCI Asia Tour calendar.
Van Bon is a former medalist at Olympic Games (silver points race, Barcelona) and World professionals Championships (bronze, San Sebastian), he won two Tour de France and one Vuelta stage and also won the HEW Cyclassics.
In the Trek – Marco Polo Team, Van Bon will have the role of road captain. The team hopes that Van Bon will form a strong combination with sprinter Sergey Kudentsov and climber Jai Crawford.
Van Bon is the second rider on the team that comes directly from the Pro Tour ranks, after Fuy Li of China, who rode for the Discovery Channel Pro Tour team in 2007, qualifying for the Olympic road race in Beijing.
Van Bon is very happy to have found a nice way to end his great career in cycling: “The Trek – Marco Polo Team allows me to combine teaching the younger Asian riders, have the challenge of a racing circuit that is new to me and find new experiences in my life.”
As Van Bon seeks a future in photography after his cycling career, the team will help him to publicize the pictures he will take in 2008 in different media. He will combine the races of the team with his participation in Six Day events on the track and other events.
