Hello MBA! The new year has started and my schedule is filling up rapidly. I'm glad to announce that I have signed for 2 more years with GT Bicycles and Fox Racing Shox, I will also continue my longtime sponsorships with Adidas for Shoes, Apparel and Eyewear, with the clutch maker LUK Automotive Systems, and with the Alta Rezia Bike Region in the heart of the Alps (Italy/ Switzerland). Ultimate traction is provided by Kenda tires and tubes, energy by yummy yummy in the tummy Clif Bar, Sambazon acai smoothies and Guayaki Yerba Mate; comfortably seated by SQ Lab saddles, super engineered cockpit by Syntace for stems and bars, powered and slowed down by Shimano cranks, gears brakes and levers.
 
I'm very happy to introduce some new sponsors and partners I'll be working with in the future:
*Met Helmets...The Italian-based company has some beautiful looking product and is one of the top players in the helmet market. *Ergon Bike Ergonomics...A German company that will sponsor me with their innovative grips and backpacks featuring a revolutionary carrying system creating a completely new comfort experience. *Crank Brothers will expand their sponsorship with me from pedals to also include their slick new wheelsets, adjustable seatposts as well as their super light headsets. Compliments to their new line of products and their cool approach.
