THANK-YOU DOUG RYDER, MICROSOFT AND MTN!Written By Brandon Els | Date 2009-09-19A big thank-you to Doug Ryder, Microsoft and MTN for the 8 year association with Raleigh and Probike. There were too many highlights to mention with numerous SA titles and just good cycling times all around. The investment in SA's top cyclists was great for business and we wish MTN well with their ambition of becoming one of the top Pro teams in the world in the years ahead.
As Raleigh aligns with its core purpose the future of the brand belongs to Joe Schmo the average trail rider or roadie who is looking for value for money! Trail networks and road safety will become the new focus of Raleigh. Not to say that Raleigh will not race again and when it does it will look for the talent most in need of the power that value for money brings.
Happy Cycling!
Brandon
