May 15, 2006 (Vancouver, B.C.) – The Symmetrics Cycling team is proud to announce that WestJet (TSX: WJA) joins the team as a sponsor. The good news is part of a stream of recent developments for Canada’s top pro team following a successful spring season with wins all over the Americas, and top results worldwide.

WestJet is one of Canada’s most preferred low-cost carriers based out of Calgary, Alberta. It’s an airline all members of the team is familiar with due to WestJet flying to most major cities in the country, and now 11 cities in the US. The team has relied on the carrier’s affordable prices before in order to travel across the country and is pleased to be able to continue using its services as part of a sponsorship program. WestJet is most known in the industry for its profit-sharing which has led to tremendous success against the larger carriers. This form of hard work and solidarity is synonymous with the Symmetrics Cycling squad, and all members are excited to partner with this Canadian success story.

“The Symmetrics Cycling team travels weekly to various destinations in North America and around the world.” Kevin Cunningham, co-owner of the Symmetrics Cycling team said. “Just these past few months, we’ve been to El Salvador, Brazil, Mexico, California, Australia, and across Canada for various races and sponsorship commitments. The travel fees are what take a good portion of our budget each year. With WestJet’s commitment, it means more race exposure for Symmetrics riders and sponsor companies. Having WestJet aboard is one more step to our long-term commitment to the development of Canadian cyclists.”
