New Bikes for 2011 for Horizon Fitness RT
2011 will see the UK’s leading domestic women’s team using the Dolan Hercules road bike. The British brand came on board on 1 January 2011 in a move that will help the team push towards their future plans and develop the technical side of the team as major targets approach (including rider participation in London Olympic Games next year).
"Dolan is a very well-known brand that has been supporting riders at the top level of the sport for many years. We’re now alongside Dolan's other team for 2011, AN Post. It’s exciting for us to be using the equipment, which will also include Time Trial bikes as we look to build on what was a fantastic first year for the team” commented Team Manager Stefan Wyman.
“We have a very British core, but have worldwide ambitions, and Dolan is known across the world in the cycling industry. We hope to keep spreading the word and use these excellent bikes to increase performance and really give our riders the best equipment possible”.
“We’re formally starting our season with a training camp Italy on 2 April and we’ll be getting stuck into a full programme of racing directly after that, both in the UK and Europe. It’s going to be another very busy year on the road, and on top of this, riders like Sarah and Jo are building towards their goals on the track. So, we’ve got a lot of balancing to do to get the programme right for everyone.”
Terry Dolan commented, “We are happy to be involved with elite teams such as the Horizon Fitness Racing Team, and value the feedback from riders that in turn helps to improve and develop our bikes.”
