GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 14, 2009 – BISSELL Pro Cycling is proud to announce that team member Jeremy Vennell now reigns as the New Zealand National Time Trial Champion. Vennell took the top spot at the Raboplus National Championships on January 9 in Te Awamutu, New Zealand.

Vennell begins his second season riding for the BISSELL Pro Cycling Team where his strength in multi-day races has been a key asset for the team and has earned him top ten standings in stages at Mt. Hood and Redlands. His professional racing career began in Europe for the dfl-cyclingnews-litespeed team, and Vennell has consistently finished well at New Zealand Nationals, even riding for the 2007 New Zealand World Championship Team. Vennell will again bring his time trialing strength to the BISSELL Pro Cycling Team, which looks to continue its power in this cycling discipline for 2009.
