2008 was a year to remember for Kim Kirchen. 

After a stunning victory at the prestigious classic Fleche Wallone, he went on to hold the yellow jersey at the Tour de Suisse, followed by the Tour de France performance of his career. 

In the first week of Le Tour, Kim held the Yellow Leaders Jersey and the Green Points Jersey similtaneously and went on to a great performance in the final time trial.

It's great to be part of a "new team" and to have the possibility to change something in Cycling.

Last year I struggled with back injuries, but I have put that behind me. I believe the team's new training methods, including the gymnastics and core strength workouts, have given me a new lease on life.
