Team Sky is delighted to announce PRO as a new Official Supplier. PRO is a world-class performance brand which will supply Team Sky with handlebars, handlebar tape, stems and disc wheels as they embark upon their third season in the UCI WorldTour (formally UCI ProTour). With a philosophy that reads “to stand still is to go backwards”, PRO use their experience across a variety of cycling disciplines to adapt to the sport’s ever-changing demands, and will work with Team Sky to develop their technology and products over the next three seasons. World Champion Mark Cavendish will continue to use his signature Star Series handlebar and stem combination which has served him so well over the last two seasons, while the remainder of Team Sky will adopt PRO’s Vibe and Vibe 7S range. PRO’s full handlebar tape and disc wheel series will also be used by the squad until the end of the 2014 campaign. Team Sky’s Team Principal Dave Brailsford said: “Everyone at Team Sky is delighted to have formed this partnership with PRO. “We have made great strides over the last two years and having PRO on board will help us continue our bid to become the world’s number one cycling team. “Their products are at the very forefront of the industry, and the support their experts offer will help us achieve optimum performance moving forwards. “Many of our riders have experienced their products in the past, and are all looking forward to benefitting from them again.” PRO’s Sports Marketing Manager Hennie Stamsnijder said: “Team Sky is one of the leading sports teams in the world and they never accept second best. The fact they have chosen to use our products is a dream come true and confirms PRO is performing at the highest possible level.”
