Planet X Bikes (North America) are expanding their program supporting the racing of their owners. I am very pleased to announce Team Planet X Tyros and Team Planet X Masters. Not only will the program be open to triahletes as in 06, but for 2007 will also encompass USA Cycling registered teams. Click 'Read more' for further details:
Team Planet X Tyros: This team for both triathletes and road cyclists replaces the grass roots program for 2007. Team Planet X Tyros is open to selected owners of Planet X bikes. Owners who wish to race in Planet X colors, get cool swag and discounts on gear should send resumes and a short statement of why you'd like to be part of Team Planet X Tyros.
Team Planet X Masters: This is a USA Cycling Masters Team focused on time trial and track racing. The team will have a total of 10 members for 2007. Members will need to race exclusively on Planet X bikes. This will be a well supported factory team. I have a few invitations out to riders, but am also seeking resumes for the remaining spots. You should be a serious racer, with good results, influential in your region and committed to building a top masters team and Planet X brand recognition. Send me your resume and a statement of why you should be in the select group picked for Team Planet X Masters.
We'll have mailboxes set up for resumes soon. In the mean time if interested email me at: rgordon9876@yahoo.com.
It's great to have the exciting opportunity to Captain Team Planet X, and to help take the Planet X brand and support of the racing athlete to new levels. I want to acknowledge Team Planet X Masters Co-Captain, Eric Manuel. Eric is an Elite level track racer located in the San Diego area. Eric will be doing us proud on the boards contending both Elite and Masters races. Watch for announcements of more members of Team Planet X Masters soon.
Cheers,
Ric Gordon
