02 Feb ISB SPORT AND CANNONDALE TB MORE UNITED THAN EVER
After fourteen active seasons, the team created by Tomás Ballès has been developing year after year to become one of the leading teams of the XCM, being in 2022 the first national squadra in the UCI Ranking and seventh classified worldwide. Results that have not gone unnoticed by ISB Sport that in the 2023 season will have a greater role in the team.
ISB Sport and the renewed UCI Cannondale VAS Arabay team sign a new sponsorship agreement that is a step forward with increased investment by the bearing brand. The Cannondale Scalpel Hi-MOD 1 and HT bikes will mount the ISB Sport bearings on the wheels, bottom bracket, linkages and swingarms.
Another novelty is the presence of ISB Sport in the team’s garment, with the logo of the bearing brand clearly visible both in the shoulder area and in the back of the shorts. Also in the street clothes and cap of the team.
The renewed UCI Cannondale VAS Arabay team is betting heavily on the women’s section with three new riders: Greete Steinburg (7th in the UCI MTB XCM 2022 ranking), Monica Calderon (1st position in the Sea Otter Europe XCM UCI 2022 and 2nd in the Costa Blanca Bike Race 2023) and Fina Casadey (numerous participations in international competitions).
In the men’s section, Roberto Bou (champion of Spain XCUM), Francisco Herrero (runner-up of the Titan Desert Morocco), and is reinforced with the entry of two great references of the national XCM such as Miguel Muñoz (victory in Cumbres de Polje) and Raúl Bermúdez (winner of the Spanish Cup XCM).
