The final preparations for the World Championships are now underway. Cervélo TestTeam riders will improve their form during the upcoming Tour of Britain, Paris – Brussels, GP Fourmies and the Tour of Ardeche.

Men’s Team

While part of the men’s team continue at the Vuelta a Espana, another squad will race in the 2010 Tour of Britain, that starts on September 11 and runs for eight stages from Rochdale to London until September 18. Heinrich Haussler (AUS) makes his return to racing and will test his form following a long break due to a knee injury. Martin Reimer (GER) returns to Great Britain with good memories after his third place overall ranking last year.

On September 11, another group of our riders will participate in at Paris-Brussels, the semi classic European cycling race and one of the oldest on the international racing calendar. On September 12 another one-day race takes place, the GP Fourmies in France. This race, over 205 km, takes place in northern France and is the first time on the Cervélo calendar.

Women’s Team

In their final phase of preparation for the World Championships in Australia, the women’s team will compete in the 8th edition of the Tour d’Ardeche, in the Ardeche region of France. The race from September 7 to 11 consists of six stages in five days, including an individual time trial. Our six-rider team is looking forward to this competition. There is strong motivation to show what we’re capable of at this race.
