Jamis/Sutter Home is 2nd in Team Standings

Northvale, NJ (May 10, 2010) — Luis Amaran of the Jamis/Sutter Home Men’s Cycling Team presented by Colavita takes the lead in the NRC men’s standings. And Jamis/Sutter Home moves up to the #2 position in the overall team rankings maintained by USA Cycling.

Amaran, now in his second year racing with the Jamis/Sutter Home squad, recently claimed his first NRC stage race victory, winning the Joe Martin Stage Race in Fayetteville, AR. Throughout the four-day race, Amaran demonstrated the combination of strength and racing smarts that have already yielded nine podium appearances this season and a victory in Stage Two of the SRAM Tour of the Gila over race winner Levi Leipheimer.

“We are very proud of Luis,” said Jamis/Sutter Home Directeur Sportif Sebastian “Seba” Alexandre. “I knew when we recruited Luis two years ago that he would be our secret weapon. And now the secret is out.”

Carine Joannou, President of title sponsor Jamis Bicycles, concurs, “We are thrilled for Luis, Seba, and the entire squad.” She continued, “The riders and staff put everything they have in to the success of this team and I’m pleased to see the rankings reflect their passion and commitment.”
