Argon 18 is building a strong roster of elite triathletes to raise the profile of its E-114 bike. The Montreal based company has announced a new collaborative agreement with American triathlete Tim O’Donnell. The new ITU Long Course World Champion will be using Argon 18’s reputed E-114 for the next three seasons.
This latest deal follows the signing up of Estonia’s Ain-Alar Juhanson, Australian Luke Bell and Canada’s Samantha McGlone, who recently re-signed with the company.
The addition of Tim O’Donnell to the already strong group of athletes working with Argon 18 is particularly significant since his last season was nothing less than remarkable – with a total of 11 podium placings, including 5 victories and 3 course records.
These results led the USA Triathlon (USAT) Athlete Advisory Council to make him the ‘Non-ITU’ Athlete of the Year. For 2010 O’Donnell will concentrate on Ironman 70.3 events, with a special focus on the World Championship in Clearwater at the end of the season.
The signing of Tim O’Donnell with Argon 18 confirms the high level of interest the Canadian company has for the most prestigious events of the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 series.
