LONGMONT, Colo. (BRAIN) — Gore Bike Wear has hired recently retired pro cyclists Fabian Cancellara as a new brand ambassador.
"Gore Bike Wear is the perfect fit for me," Cancellara said. "Highest demands on quality and constantly searching for the perfect solution – that is what we have in common. It's the same as in a time trial: you have to give it all you ́ve got – and at the same time have the best equipment made of the best materials. In the end, every little detail matters. Even in my professional career, I was always the first person wanting to test new prototypes in order to develop products further and to get the most out of them."
Gore said Cancellara will not only function as a brand ambassador but will also actively contribute to product development.
"His experience from professional sports is essential for us. We are convinced that apparel can only meet the high standards of our brand through thorough laboratory and road testing," said Clemens Deilmann, head of design at Gore Bike Wear. "Fabian Cancellara fits perfectly with us, as he shows the same passion for products, innovations, and details as our development team."
Cancellara will represent Gore Bike Wear at selected international events in the coming months.
