| will do
Our tyres are requested by so many professional teams every year that we
inevitably have to turn some away! Our celebrated tubulars are manufactured
in the time honoured way meaning we must cap the amount supplied to
teams in order to keep up with consumer demand. So the tyres that you see
being used by Robbie McEwan or Alexandre Vinokurov are the exact same
tyres that are available to you.
The Choice of Champions
World and Olympic champions race on Continental tyres – the preferred brand
season after season. The experience of these top professionals is continuously
integrated into our tyre development, therefore it comes as no surprise that
celebrated racing champions and international mountain bike stars make
Continental their tyres of choice. World-class cyclists such as Erik Zabel or
Alexandre Vinokurov of the Telekom team, Peter van Petegem or the
Australian Robbie McEwen of the Lotto Domo team, Jens Voigt or Stuart
O'Grady of the Credit Agricole team, or Team Phonak with new signing
Tyler Hamilton – all put their victory on the line with tyres made by
Continental.
In the UK, the World Tandem Hour Record was recently broken by Glenn
Taylor & Zak Carr, on Continental rubber.
In the 24 hour ‘Sleepless in the Saddle’ MTB marathon, the winning ‘Team
Tomac’ were all users of our new Vapor ProTection tyre.
In Triathlon & Ironman, international competitors such as Lothar Leder, Marc
Jenkins, Lori Bowden, Tim Don, Spencer Smith, Richard Jones, Becky
Gibbs Lavelle and Natascha Badmann also specify race-proven Continental
tyres.
Perhaps the best confirmation of the reliability & high performance can be
gained from the past three winners of Paris-Roubaix. This is the toughest
road race in the world on both competitors & equipment. In 2001, 2002 &
2003 the winning rider was using Continental Competition tubulars!
