Cycling Team
02 February 2010
Motorpoint is set to unveil its pro-cycling team tomorrow in Derby.
The car supermarket giant has teamed up with former rider Phil Griffiths to create the Motorpoint Pro-Cycling Team for 2010.
Led by Ed Clancy MBE, a member of the 2008 Olympic team pursuit squad that won gold in Beijing, the Motorpoint Team will compete in all of the premier UK cycling events, including the British Premier Calendar, Tour Series and the Tours of Britain and Ireland.
Joining Clancy in the saddle will be fellow GB team pursuiter Andy Tennant, together with Malcolm Elliott, Ian Bibby, Andrew Roche and Steven Burke among others. The team will be riding the new Super Leonardo from Opera, part of Pinarello, the legendary Italian bike manufacturer.
Says Gary Warren, Managing Director of Motorpoint: “We’re delighted to be launching our own professional cycling team. Motorpoint has always sought to do things a little differently and this is a great example of our desire to excel on two as well as four wheels.”
