"With my own background in Triathlon & Ironman, it has always been one of my main goals to get Boardman Bikes involved with the sport. I've followed them all throughout their careers and I know we've got four fantastic British athletes - all of which have the potential to not only represent our country at the 2012 Olympics, but have a realistic chance of a podium finish. This looks like it's going to be an exciting season again for all of them."
Alan Ingarfield, CEO, Boardman Bikes
"The new Elite Series of bikes that the athletes are riding will give them an edge in their races - we've combined all of our research and development including Olympic and World conquering technology with the specific set-up requirements of the triathletes to create a bike which will allow them to be the best they can be. Just as important, the riders will also be in a position to give us feedback on the bikes as they are put through their paces in competition at the highest levels - giving valuable feedback to inform future ranges."
Chris Boardman MBE, Director of R&D, Boardman Bikes
