COLUMUBS, Ohio (November 6, 2008) – Kenda Pro Cycling p/b Spinergy is pleased to welcome new sponsors for 2009 to its family of long-term supporters.
As Inferno Racing LLC's new program enters its freshman year as a UCI Continental team, they are excited to forge new relationships with: AlphaQ, Cane Creek, Feather Brakes, Fluid, Hincapie Sports Wear, Look, Qoleum, Showers Pass, Travelers Insurance, and TruTrainer.
These new partners join a cast of sponsors that have been responsible in program's growth: AltoLab, Ashville VeloSports, Bonk Protection, Bonk Breaker Inc., Bruce Thompson LLC, Caribou, Inferno Racing LLC, Inno Advanced Car Racks, Jagwire, Kenda, Kore, Lake Shoes, LH Thomson Co., Masi Bicycles, MATTEO Studios, Mazza Vineyards, Motor Tabs, Paceline Products, Rudy Project, SDG USA, Skins, SockGuy, Spinergy, SRAM Corporation, Wippermann Chains, Wobble-Naught Precision Fitting.
Kenda, Spinergy and LH Thomson Co. enter their fifth year of sponsorship of the team, while Masi Bicycles enters its fourth year. Kenda Pro Cycling p/b Spinergy uses the Masi 3VC Team Issue and Coltello Aero on the road, Thomson stems and posts, Spinergy Stealth FCC wheels, and Kenda's new C2C and Konstrictor tires.
"Sustaining relationships with our sponsors has been mutually beneficial, and is a staple of our beliefs in loyalty!" stated Chad Thomposn, team founder and General Manager. "Our athletes have provided feedback over multiple years allowing sponsors like Kenda, Spinergy and Masi to make product refinements for the demands of racing a full calendar. In kind, our athletes have benefited from the equipment consistency, taking the guess work out of learning how to race on new equipment year to year."
With Hincapie Sports Wear signing on for a long-term deal, Hincapie Development Cycling Team becomes Kenda Pro Cycling's official feeder team. Inferno has always believed in youth development and found the relationship of Hincapie's Development team a perfect match to the program and its newly formed partnership with Hincapie. "Hincapie's Development Team has some great talent. They even have one of our riders from last year's Team Inferno at the helm, and we are excited to continue to work with him!" says Thompson.
The team's training camp, hosted by LH Thomson Co, will be held at Hincapie Headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina, from February 25-March 1.
