Rolf Prima sponsors NOW Pro Women’s team

EUGENE, OR (BRAIN)—Professional team NOW Pro Women’s Cycling has teamed with U.S. wheel manufacturer Rolf Prima as its exclusive wheel sponsor for the 2012 race season.

The NOW Pro Women’s team was founded in 2011 by Phil Keoghan, host of the seven-time Emmy Award-winning CBS reality series “The Amazing Race” and founder of No Opportunity Wasted (NOW). With a mission to raise awareness and deepen understanding about multiple sclerosis, the team will compete nationally at the pro level and take part in select National MS Society charitable bike rides nationwide. At these rides they will team up with honorary team members on tandems who are living with MS.

“Early in the conversations with the Now Pro Women’s team, we knew it would be a great partnership,” said Rolf Prima owner Brian Roddy. “There are a lot of teams out there and it is important to us that it is about more than only bike racing. This team not only embraces the sport they are in, but utilizes it as a way to spread awareness.”
