Two Time Olympian Mary McConneloug and
teammate Michael Broderick will continue managing their
custom-tailored race program racing under the title name: Team
Kenda-Seven-NoTubes. The duo is thrilled to announce the
continuation of their race program under this title sponsorship
and is proud to step into the 2009 season backed by three of the
most outstanding companies in the industry.
"Kenda Tires has stood with us through a vast transition from our pure grass
roots to the program that we have come into today. Mike and I are thrilled to be signing an
unprecedented second four- year contract with Kenda that will
see us through the 2012 season. Kenda is renowned for its
outstanding tires as well as for its flagship role in providing
support to the U.S. mountain bike scene as a whole. We look
forward to helping maintain Kenda's #1 tire manufacturer status in the US
while taking aim at expanding Kenda's presence in all the places we
travel and race. It is a huge honor and opportunity to continue
representing this great company."
"Long-time sponsor, Seven Cycles
continues to provide the core ingredients of what we consider
to be the finest race bikes on the planet. Our stunning,
custom- built Seven frames are dreamt-up, engineered and
hand-crafted at one of the most soulful, thought-forward factories in the
industry. A telling testament to Seven's quality is their ability to
craft an ultra high performance frame that is durable enough to
compete at two consecutive Olympic games and on both occasions
(four years apart) offer a feeling that we were going into the
races with a significant equipment based advantage. At Seven Cycles, this elite
level of performance and durability is the standard with
everything they produce."
"Mike and I are proud to announce the
addition of NoTubes as a title sponsors for 2009. We have a
long history of working along side NoTubes and it is a great
honor to have them with us as a core supporter. NoTubes brings
a unique unrestricted perspective that has time and again been a
catalyst for a pure innovation, bringing about revolutionary things
others said could not be done. NoTubes is responsible for creating some
of the most sought after products in the bike racing world.
Working with them as a title sponsor will allow us to pull all
the stops with regard to going fast on the bikes."
"We look forward to showcasing the
outstanding products and technologies that all three companies
bring to the table. We are happy to be able to develop a
program with companies that are so well equipped to offer us the
tools we need for ultimate race performance. It is especially
rewarding to be utilizing products that we believe in and that
we feel can also positively influence just about anyone’s
cycling experience--no matter what you are using your bike for."
For 2009 Team KENDA-Seven-NoTubes will
focus on an international competition schedule including the
World Cups, World Championships, Continental Championships and
domestic races throughout Europe and other points abroad. On
the domestic side the team will be present to defend Mary's
national title at the US National Championships as well as
attend several races in the ProXCT and Kenda Cups.
Thanks again for your interest and
support in what we are doing.
Best wishes for 2009 and beyond!
Mary and Mike
