Kickoff Meeting For Team Saunier Duval Prodir

The first meeting of Pro Tour Team Saunier Duval Prodir took place recently in Bilbao, Spain. All riders, team management and mechanics got together to discuss the upcoming racing season. The team directors were in discussion with each of the riders about their planning for the 2007 racing season. To make sure of the current performance situation, the riders took several tests, well supported by an entire team of doctors.

The mechanics were really excited about next year's racing equipment. They were totally amazed about the lightweight Addict frame, 790 gr, which will be the official team bike for the upcoming season, equipped with SRAM Force. David Millar commented: "The Addict frame is the next level in carbon frame building. Awesome lightweight/stiffness ratio, this frame fulfills 100% of my riding demands." The Scott staff was also on hand, using the opportunity to get feedback about the new Sniper sunglasses and Ltd bike shoes, while at same time giving the necessary support on these products. Aside from the discussions, of course the riders enjoyed some nice social time, with wellness, go-kart racing and delicious food.
