The Tuft Express ‘09
June 24, 2009
The Wedgewood Cycling Team is pleased to announce financial support for Svein Tuft in his goal of winning the 2009 World Time Trial Championships in September in Mendrisio, Switzerland.
Tuft is returning to the World Road Championships this year after capturing silver in the Time Trial event last year. Without the financial backing of a team, Tuft is self-financed and determined to improve his performance.
And he’s a community leader. Tuft will help support the Wedgewood Cycling Team’s fight against cancer – through education and increased awareness, as well as fundraising efforts for the BC Cancer Foundation.
“We’re really pleased with the unique opportunity to support an athlete and community leader like Svein,” said Philip Meyer, co-founder of the Wedgewood Cycling Team and General Manager of the Relais and Chateau Wedgewood Hotel and Spa in Vancouver. “Svein has a unique story in his rise to the World Championships and we believe that this makes him a compelling partner with the Wedgewood Cycling Team.”
Watch for more news on this partnership, which may include public appearances, events, charity rides, TT clinics and other activities. Best of luck Svein!
