About Cervélo TestTeam
Eight of the bike industry’s thought leaders – Cervélo, Zipp, Zivit, Speedplay, Vittoria, 3T, Rotor Bike Components and fi’zi:k and Castelli have put a new spin on professional cycling and product innovation with the formation of the Cervélo TestTeam. Though the arrivals of 2008 Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre and sprint ace Thor Hushovd leave no doubt about the performance level of the team, racing success is not the team’s only goal. Of equal importance to the partners in this project, is the involvement of the Cervélo TestTeam riders in product development and technical feedback. Last but not least, riders will participate in activities with customers, making the sport more accessible to cycling fans.
