Jamis/Sutter Home Men’s Cycling Team presented by Colavita Announces Sponsor Roster for 2010

#1 Men’s Team to Ride Jamis Xenith SL State-of-the-Art Frames

Northvale, NJ (December 10, 2009) — The Jamis/Sutter Home Men’s Cycling Team presented by Colavita will be riding Xenith SL road and time trial frames from title sponsor Jamis Bicycles for the 2010 season. “We raced to the top of the NRC on Jamis bikes last season,” said Directeur Sportif Sebastian Alexandre. “We’re sticking with our winning formula.”

The ultra-light Jamis Xenith SL features the company’s revolutionary Near Net molding technology that reduces the weight of the frame while increasing strength. The addition of a new resin binder improves impact resistance as well. The bikes are equipped with a full SRAM RED drivetrain featuring Double Tap/Zero Loss technology for instant, smooth shifts and powerful RED brakes that deliver hard stops while offering nuanced modulation. Zipp is supplying a full range of carbon wheels for specific rider and race day needs — 202′s, 303′s 404′s, 808′s, 1080′s and Super-9 Discs — all rolling on the lightest, most supple and durable tubulars from Vittoria. Ritchey is providing WCS handlebars, stems, and seatposts, with Regale saddles and handlebar tape furnished by Selle San Marco. Zxellium shoes, Race SL Ti pedals and WinTech computers are provided by Mavic. The redesigned Xenith T2 Time trial bikes, featuring Jamis’ ultra-aero Windshield fork will be outfitted with Profile Design aerobars and brake levers.

“Building bikes is what we do so I’m pleased to put our name on a team that has such deep roots in the North American peloton,” said Carine Joannou, President of Jamis Bicycles. “We’re passionate about cycling,” she continued. “I’m extremely proud of the partners who share our commitment to the sport and have joined us to support the Jamis/Sutter Home Men’s Team.”

“We’re thrilled that the Jamis/Sutter Home squad has access to the best of the best,” said Wendy Nyberg, Director of Marketing for co-title sponsor Sutter Home Winery. “We also salute Colavita, Giordana, GU, Headsweats, Rudy Project, and Thule for their continued support of the team.” Colavita, the founding sponsor, provides food and nutritional guidance for the athletes and staff throughout the racing season. Giordana designs and supplies all jerseys and technical apparel. Rudy Project is the team’s helmet and sunglass sponsor. Podium hats are furnished by Headsweats and team vehicles are outfitted with bike racks from Thule. Energy drinks and gels are supplied by GU.
