Swiss XC Star Litscher Will Ride Felt in 2011

9/8/2010

Germany — The Felt Ötztal X-Bionic World Cup mountain bike team announced today the signing of Swiss cross-country talent Thomas Litscher for 2011. The 21-year-old won a silver medal in the Under-23 XC race at World Championships in Canada last week and is considered one of the sport’s rising stars.

“We had great interest in him last year, however his commitments with the MIG team lasted through 2010,” said team director Jorg Scheiderbauer.

Scheiderbauer said he sees great potential in Litscher. In addition to winning silver at the Worlds in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Québec, last weekend, he was also part of the winning Swiss team in the team relay.

Wealing Rides Felt to XTERRA Mexico Win!

9/6/2010

Mexico — Felt-sponsored multisport athlete Seth Wealing won the XTERRA Mexico Championship on Saturday, repeating his 2009 win at the off-road triathlon in Valle de Bravo.

Wealing, who lives in Boulder, Colorado, mastered the slippery, muddy bike course on his Felt Nine. He chased South African Dan Hugo, finishing 1 minute behind, and then surged ahead on the run to take the win.

“The first lap [of the bike] was pretty hectic with Dan Hugo, Francisco Sorono and I racing tight,” Wealing said. “The second lap was incredibly slippery and muddy, and I focused on making sure to make no mistakes and avoid crashes.”

Farrar Sprints to Victory at Vuelta!

9/1/2010

Spain — Tyler Farrar sprinted to victory in Stage 5 of the Vuelta a España Wednesday, powering his Felt F1 past Koldo Fernandez and Mark Cavendish to take the win in the 199km stage from Guadix to Lorca.

Farrar's seventh win of the season came a day after he was almost forced to abandon the race with a stomach bug. The win also made him a co-leader in the points competition; he is now tied with Spaniard Igor Anton.

A breakaway formed early in the stage and was caught by the chasing sprinters’ teams, including Farrar’s Garmin-Transitions squad, in the approach to the finish. Cavendish made his move first in the final sprint, but Farrar rocketed past to take the win.

Garmin-Transitions Ready for Vuelta

8/26/2010

Spain — The Garmin-Transitions team rolls into the final grand tour of the season, the three-week Vuelta a España, with a talented lineup including sprinter Tyler Farrar—on a roll after winning the recent Vattenfalls Classic—and fellow American Christian Vande Velde (pictured) who is looking to put injuries and bad luck behind him and finish the season on a high note.

Both Farrar and Vande Velde were forced to abandon the Tour de France with injuries sustained in crashes. Vande Velde broke three ribs in a Stage 3 crash and Farrar fractured his wrist and eventually dropped out of the race on Stage 12. While Vande Velde, who also crashed out of the Giro d’Italia in May, says his form isn’t where it typically would be for a three-week tour, he’ll be looking for stage wins and to ride well in Spain. Farrar, too, will be looking to add to his tally of grand tour stage wins.
