Evotri Age Group Triathlon Team Partners with Quintana Roo
Aug 24, 2011
Chattanooga, Tenn. – August 17, 2011 – For the 2012 season,
Quintana Roo is excited to partner with Team Evotri to provide each
of the team members with the bike that Triathlete Magazine has
called "the most innovative in the past decade from any brand," the
CD0.1. The QR Shift Series is the only line of aerodynamic bikes
designed specifically to minimize the substantial drag created by
the drivetrain. QR's exclusive 18 millimeter offset downtube SHIFT
Technology diverts concentrated airflow away from the drive side to
produce a true, measurable bike-course advantage for every athlete
at every level.
“We are very much looking forward to the partnership with Team
EVOTRI for the upcoming season,” said Peter Hurley, QR CEO. “Having
active social networking athletes on the CD0.1 for 2012 and beyond
is an exciting direction Quintana Roo is heading.”
Team Evotri was conceived in 2007 based around the idea of finding
out what happens when age group triathletes of all ability levels
are provided with top coaching, technology and precision equipment.
The team currently has eight members who share their journey via
blogs, podcasts and social networking.
Evotri’s team model has been proven successful since 3 of the 8 age
group athletes have qualified for the Ironman World Championships
in Kona, Hawaii for the first time after joining the team. Other
team members have also seen substantial improvements resulting from
the team sponsorship package. The Evotri team also focuses on
giving back to the triathlon community through organizing one of
the fastest growing training camps for the Ironman distance. Held
every summer, the Wisconsin Ironman Brick Adventure (WIBA) is a
completely free weekend full of solid training, good sportsmanship
and a wealth of knowledge.
Evotri Team Manager, Stu Joannes ("Simply Stu") states, "When I
walked my rickety old bike into my first triathlon years ago, I
remember seeing an incredible bike with a cool name - Quintana Roo.
I told myself that one day I would ride one. Well, that day has
finally come, and I couldn't be happier. The new CD0.1 is just an
incredible ride that is packed with technology. I have come a long
way since that first triathlon, and so has bike technology. My
passion for the sport is only matched by the passion that Quintana
Roo puts into bikes!"
