Ironman UK Events Ltd is proud to announce that bike manufacturer Cannondale has signed a three year deal to be the 'Official Bike Sponsor' of Ironman UK until 2007.
The three year deal sees CANNONDALE, the Official Branded Bike of IRONMAN Races worldwide, join forces with the only Official IRONMAN World Championship Qualifying Race in the UK.
Ron Thorne, Race Director of IRONMAN UK comments: "CANNONDALE bikes are among the best in the world. We are very excited that CANNONDALE will be the 'OFFICIAL Bike Sponsor' of IRONMAN UK. The three year deal shows the commitment that CANNONDALE has to IRONMAN UK and the value they place on the race, the athletes and the organisers".
Mike Cotty, Brand Manager comments: "We're very pleased to have secured a partnership of this nature with IRONMAN UK. Since CANNONDALE is the Official Branded Bike of IRONMAN, the synergy between the biggest triathlon event in the UK and our IRONMAN endorsed products makes perfect sense. Our aim is to support the event as far as possible to ensure it, and the sport of triathlon, continues to grow in the future".
CANNONDALE is one of the world premier bike manufacturers and produces a special range of IRONMAN branded bikes, which are built especially for the demands of IRONMAN racing and training.
CANNONDALE sponsors some of the top IRONMAN pro's such as 1997 World Champion and holder of the fastest bike split at the World Championship Thomas Hellriegal and 2004 World Championship 3rd place finisher and St Croix Winner Faris Al-Sultan.
The lightweight, cutting-edge IRONMANŽ models are designed and spec'd for the committed triathlete, but they'll give any competitor an edge. The bike features the IRONMANŽ Slice Aero frame with wind tunnel-tested tri geometry, delivering an unmatched combination of all-day comfort and aerodynamic efficiency.
