The BMC Racing Team is giving fans of the team a chance to get the same information it provides to journalists by making its new race guides available for download on its website.

The guides are PDFs and custom to each race (the one for the Tour of Qatar is online here) and include a photo of each rider, their specifications and a snapshot bio. There's also information on the team staff and the obligatory banner of sponsors.

The team says it will provide race guides for all stage races in 2011, as well as select one-day races.
