Cycling Australia and SCOTT Sports are pleased to announce a two year partnership to support Australia’s High Performance cyclists.
From 1 January SCOTT sports will become the official road and time trial bicycle supplier to the Team Jayco AIS men’s continental team, Team Jayco AIS women’s road program, the CA/AIS High Performance women’s track endurance program and, from May next year, will provide road bikes to the Team Jayco AIS track riders.
SCOTT’s support for Cycling Australia is in addition to its support of the GreenEDGE men’s team and the GreenEDGE-AIS women’s team.
Cycling Australia CEO Graham Fredericks said the organisation is thrilled to have the support of one of the world’s premium bicycle manufacturers. “SCOTT Sports leads the world in the development and manufacture of high end bicycles and we are proud to have them supplying our teams,” Fredericks said.
CA National Performance Director Kevin Tabotta notes that the partnership demonstrates SCOTT’s commitment to Australian cycling. “SCOTT is investing in the development pathway that is so crucial to the continued growth of our developing riders and the sport overall,” said Tabotta.
“We are proud to support Cycling Australia with the SCOTT Foil, the most innovative aero road bike on the market, and with the SCOTT Plasma 3, the perfect time trial weapon,” added SCOTT Marketing Manager Lionel Girardin. “Partnering with such a diverse group of athletes, with different disciplines, age groups, and season objectives, will benefit SCOTT as well as cycling as a whole.
“It is a perfect platform to scout new talent for the our WorldTour cycling team, GreenEDGE, and bring more innovation to cycling through product development and testing.”
