Cycling mega-stars, Orbea-For Goodness Shakes! have officially announced their men’s and women’s team for the 2010 biking season, and they include some pretty impressive stars including Rebecca Romero, an Olympic Gold Medallist. The teams were officially announced at Redbridge Cycling Centre in the UK and Orbea’s commitment to domestic talent is evident in their support for their riders. Both teams will be competing in domestic competitions and rides on the continent in 2010 with the medal hopes for the world championships and the Olympics also focusing on international competitions.
Orbea-For Goodness Sakes! have always been committed to nourishing young biking talent as well as supporting experienced riders in their cycling career. Steve Charles is the manager of the men’s team and is excited about the prospects of the individual members and the team as a whole. The guys have already clicked on and off the bikes in preparation for their training camp in Mallorca at the end of February. With a hard winter of training behind them the team and the coaches are hopeful that they will be bringing some medals home after the European and domestic competitions have finished.
For the women’s team, the future looks bright for Orbea-For Goodness Shakes! as there are some world championship and Olympic medal hopes amongst the girls. Rebecca Romero who already has an Olympic gold medal in the pursuit event has brought fresh energy to the team that already included world champion, Janet Birkmyre and other up-and-coming bikers including Emilie Fisher and Cassie Gledhill.
Both teams are hoping to win prizes in time trials, on the road and on the tracks. The riders have put their success so far down to the fantastic support that their sponsors have shown and the brilliant Orbea mountain bikes and road bikes which they use for training and competition.
