Cole Wheels is proud to announce its sponsorship of ProTour team Fuji-Servetto. Based in northern Spain, the team is an evolution of the Scott-American Beef team of 2008. As a member of the ProTour, the team's goals are to be competitive in the three Grand Tours this season. The team has already competed at the Tour Down Under in Australia, where they made an aggressive showing in sprints and breakaways.
The team, managed by Mauro Gianetti, has already signed several top pros such as 2006 Australian Champion William Walker from Rabobank, seasoned pros Andrea Tonti and Davide Vigano from Quickstep, and sprint phenom Ivan Dominquez from Toyota-United. The entire 2009 Fuji-Servetto team roster, including riders, support staff, mechanics, and the bike.
Cole will be supporting the team with a full range of wheels from the EMD disc and T85 carbon tubular for the time trials, to the T50 and T38 carbon wheels for road racing, and a custom aluminum sheet for the cobbled classics of Belgium. In addition, the team will provide valuable feedback on new products such as lightweight carbon wheels for the long mountain-top stages of the Tour de France.
