New four-year agreement makes Blue the official Bicycle through the 2012 Olympics.

Norcross, Georgia – November 18, 2008 – Blue Competition Cycles today announced they will continue as the official bicycle sponsor for USA Triathlon for the next four years, through the 2012 Olympics in London. Blue Competition Cycles has been the official bicycle sponsor of USA Triathlon since 2005. During that time, athletes riding Blue Competition Cycles have won numerous events at both the elite and amateur levels.

“We are thrilled that Blue will continue as our official bicycle sponsor,” said USA Triathlon senior vice president of marketing and communications, Tim Yount. “Blue’s unwavering support for our sport and our athletes is incredible and their bikes are second-to-none. The new Triad is a perfect example of Blue’s commitment to engineering and manufacturing aerodynamic, lightweight and powerful bikes for multisport athletes. The fact that every athlete who buys a complete Triad bike gets a free hour in a wind tunnel is unique in the industry and shows unprecedented support for our competitors,” Yount concluded.

The Triad is Blue’s new, all-carbon-fiber multisport bike, featuring a unique aerodynamic design perfected in the wind tunnel. Athletes who purchase the new Triad will receive a free hour in the A2 Wind Tunnel in Charlotte, North Carolina to perfect their aerodynamic riding position.

“USA Triathlon is an outstanding organization featuring some of the most gifted athletes in the country,” said Michael Skop, president of Blue Competition Cycles. “We have enjoyed working with USAT and the athletes to showcase and perfect our latest bicycle designs.  We intend to stay at the cutting edge and on the podium for the next four years.”
