Team Lampre-Merida has signed an agreement with Champion System. Starting in 2013 and continuing for three years, Champion System will be the pro cycling team’s official technical apparel provider.
Thanks to the notable support of Louis Shih, Champion System Global CEO, a line of garments were selected from Champion System’s range in order to satisfy the needs of the team’s pro riders.
