The cyclists at the top of UCI’s 2004 team rankings for cross country and mountain-cross are among the best in the world – and now, they’re sponsored by Maxxis. The company has announced a sponsorship agreement with the internationally renowned Siemens Cannondale Mountain Bike Racing Team for 2005. As a new sponsor of this talented crew, Maxxis will also be featured on the team’s jerseys.
The coming year should be exciting for both Siemens Cannondale and its fans: team members are scheduled to race throughout Europe and North America during the 2005 season, with numerous World Cup events included in their calendar.
The strong roster includes:
Christoph Sauser, who in 2004 was ranked first in the World Cup Classification for Cross Country Elite Men.
Cedric Gracia, who finished second overall in competition for the 2004 Mountain Cross World Cup and was ranked fourth for the downhill category.
Fredrik Kessiakoff, who took fourth place in the final 2004 World Cup race in Livigno, Italy.
Tinker Juarez, who last year won the TransAlp Challenge Masters, 24 Hours of Adrenaline, and 24 Hours of Temecula.
