Garmin-Cervélo Tour de France roster

Hushovd and Danielson

Team Garmin-Cervélo today announced its much-anticipated 2011 Tour de France roster. The squad features world champion Thor Hushovd, Christian Vande Velde, a two-time top-ten finisher, and Tyler Farrar, who has claimed stages at two other Grand Tours and with lead-out man Julian Dean, will be looking to add a third to his list. Ryder Hesjedal, who placed an impressive 7th overall in 2010 returns, as does recently crowned U.S. National Time Trial Champion, David Zabriskie.

David Millar, tour veteran, will feature throughout as a TT expert and rider strong both on the flats and in the mountains. Two riders will be making their Tour de France debut this year: Tom Danielson is coming off strong performances at the Tours of California and Suisse; and Lithuanian National Champion, Ramunas Navardauskas – the team’s youngest rider – rounds out the squad.

Best ever jersey for racing and performance riding.

cervelo-testteam“Cervélo TestTeam had a huge role in improving this aero jersey together with Castelli, and we believe them; its fit is one of the best we’ve ever encountered for racing and performance riding”

brWe’d like to give Cervélo a pat on the back for their TestTeam initiative, whereby they’ve created a model for racers to give useful feedback to their sponsors which can then be used to make better products. It’s a concept that Italian clothing makers Castelli have embraced and we believe their kit is markedly improved, from top to bottom, because of it.

We’ve spent the last month in three pairs of Castelli shorts (Body Paint, Free Aero Race and Presto) and two jerseys (Aero Race and Team Castelli), and can’t do anything less than rave about the fit and function of these pieces.

Irishman takes Tuscan triumph.

Dan Martin (Garmin-Cervelo) won the Giro della Toscana yesterday in a six-man sprint to earn his first victory of the season. The 24-year-old Irishman bided his time in the finale and came around Italy’s Mauro Santambrogio (BMC)in the final 50 metres for the win. Santambrogio initiated the sprint from 300 metres out and hung on for second place while Colombia’s Miguel Angel Rubiano Chavez (D’Angelo & Antenucci-Nippo) claimed third. “Christophe and I were in a 10 man group, Christophe took the opportunity to attack, I did my best to block behind but with the strong headwind to the line we caught him with only 300m to the line. Having Christophe in front allowed me to recover enough to take the sprint” said Dan, “It was a beautiful race and made the trip to Tuscany worthwhile for all!”
