Cervélo TestTeam signs Emilie Aubry
Cervélo TestTeam is pleased to announce the signing of Emilie Aubry, the final rider to be signed for 2009. The nineteen year-old Chevenez native is considered one of the biggest talents in Switzerland. She was third in the 2008 national road championships of Switzerland and also third in the overall young riders ranking for the Grande Boucle 2008.
"On our team we are always thinking about the future," said Manel Lacambra, Sport's Director. "Our goal for the next few years is to build a strong team with experienced and talented riders. We watched Emilie closely last year and decided she has the right stuff for our team; very professional, great potential with the ability to improve in cycling and she is a nice person. She is also a talented climber and is fast. This season Emilie will get a "relaxed" calendar, giving her some time to improve and get more racing experience and most of all, that she enjoys cycling."
Aubrey has signed a one-year contract with the team. Her first race for the team will be the Prix des Vins Henri Valloton Fully on April 5.
About Cervélo TestTeam
The bike industry's thought leaders - Cervélo, Zipp, ZipVit, Speedplay, Vittoria, 3T, Rotor Bike Components and fi'zi:k and Castelli have put a new spin on professional cycling and product innovation with the formation of the Cervélo TestTeam. Though the arrivals of 2008 Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre and sprint ace Thor Hushovd leave no doubt about the performance level of the team, racing success is not the team's only goal. Of equal importance to the partners in this project, is the involvement of Cervélo TestTeam riders in product development and technical feedback. Last but not least, riders will participate in activities with customers, making the sport more accessible to cycling fans. For further information visit: www.cervelo.com/team.
