Specialized on top of their game!!!


Three major road teams will use Specialized’s equipment in 2011, following the announcement it will supply bikes for Team HTC-Highroad’s men’s and women’s teams from next season. Specialized will replace Scott as the bike supplier at Bob Stapleton’s ProTour squad, with Scott already announced as the supplier for ProTour hopeful Pegasus Racing.

Specialized renewed its deal with the Astana squad last week and will also supply Bjarne Riis’ Saxo Ban-SunGuard outfit again in 2011. The pairing with Team HTC-Highroad was described as a “multi-year partnership beginning in 2011”, but no set period for the deal has been announced.
Ok...so now Specialized may have the Yellow, Green and Polka Dot Jersey for the the Podium. Roughly 18% of the riders in the Tour next year will ride Specialized. Likely that Cancellara will also win the opening time trial. Nothing shabby about that, Specialized!!!!
How many World Championships? Kona, Time Trial, Tour de France, ITU Women's Sprint, and countless mountain bike championships. Not to mention they make a dang good bike too!!
