13 Nov ¡TESSA KORTEKAAS TOP IN BRASIL RIDE!
This victory is the second consecutive year in which Kortekaas has declared herself the undisputed queen of the event, crowning an impressive record of seven victories in seven stages. A feat that is only within the reach of a great cyclist like her and that is also a testament to her dedication and professionalism with which she reaffirms her position among the elite of mountain biking.
Kortekaas’ success is especially significant for ISB Sport, the team’s main sponsor, which celebrates this victory as a sign of the commitment and joint effort between the athlete, the team itself and the brand, which continues to make clear its constant support for women’s sports. (forming part of the Women’s Universe Project) and the projects whose values it shares: effort, dedication, improvement…
In addition to Kortekaas’ triumph, the participation of Diana Pinila, who debuted in the Brasil Ride with a creditable fifth place in the Elite Women’s category and third place in the American Women’s category, was another reason for celebration. Pinila, who overcame several mechanical challenges during the stages, demonstrated great tenacity and combative spirit, standing out as a promise within the Cannondale-ISB Sport.
Both runners expressed their gratitude to the organization of the event, the volunteers, the medical staff and the local community of Bahia, in a gesture of appreciation for the support received throughout this demanding race. Kortekaas’ victory and Pinila’s outstanding debut reaffirm ISB Sport’s commitment to the development of the sport and the growth of its team on the international stage.
In competitions as demanding as Brasil Ride, the importance of having top quality components that stand out for both their reliability and performance becomes clear. A clear example is the ISB SPORT components (bearings and seals) for the suspension and swingarm.
