We are excited to announce that SUGOI is now the official Apparel Sponsor of Team Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com. We joined this young, dynamic team at their Training Camp at Cannondale HQ in Wilton Connecticut, to suit up the team in their new race day kit and all season training essentials for the season.
The team will be comprised of four pro riders and eight devo team riders.
2016 PRO ROSTER:
Stephen Hyde: 2015 was his breakout year, climbing up to 15th in the world, beating the U.S. national champion twice at the Derby City ‘Cross event and claiming the top American position at World Championships.
Kaitie Antonneau: Has been the first American female finisher at the last two World Championships and most notably came in 2nd at the 2015 World Cup in Valkenburg.
Curtis White: Won the 2014 U23 American Continental Cyclocross Championships and placed 2nd in the 2015 U23 Pan-Am Championship and 2nd in the U23 U.S. Nationals.
Emma White: Newest member to the pro team after competing on the Cyclocrossworld.com development team for the past four years. Also competing in the road category, 2015 was a highlight year for Emma, earning the silver medal in both the junior women time trial and road race at the UCI World Road Championships.
Between the four pros and eight development team riders, the team will compete at 67 races around the world, with Kaitie and Stephen take the lead on European races, while Emma and Curtis focus on a domestic schedule. In addition, Tim Johnson will continue working alongside Team Director Stu Thorne as a team mentor and cyclocross advocate, to further the mission of cross, while driving team performance, goals and objectives.
The team will race in the very latest SUGOI designs, anchored by the cutting-edge 2016 Custom RS Skinsuit. The Racing Systems Skinsuit delivers race day performance with advanced design and detailing including SUGOI’s proprietary chamois for ultimate comfort in the saddle. Cold weather training garments include the RSE NeoShell Jacket, a favorite for ultra-breathable waterproof protection. The team will also wear a selection of SUGOI’s off bike collection for cross training and lifestyle essentials.
“With the Pacific Northwest as our testing ground, SUGOI’s history of excellence in thermal performance apparel will provide the team with enviable protection from the particularly harsh conditions of cyclocross season,” said Ian Domaas, Vice President & GM, SUGOI. “This multi-year agreement supports SUGOI’s commitment to innovation through research and development, providing unique insight into the elite racer’s needs for a broad range of climates and conditions.”
