February, 2nd 2006 (New York) – The Champion System Racing team is owned and managed by KraftGenie Cycling Inc., and they have finalized their impressive roster for the 2006 season. With a total of 37 riders, this team covers each field, Pro. through Cat. 5, and the women’s field with numerous riders.

First and foremost, Champion System is very proud to introduce Oscar Pineda to our lineup for 2006. Oscar joins us with an impressive list of race wins and placings including a trip to the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Oscar comes from a long line of professional races and his racing experience is sure to give this team an amazing boost towards the future.

To support these excellent athletes, the elite team has eight other Cat. 1 and 2 riders of varying levels and eight category 3 riders all gunning through the ranks to upgrade and become part of the best amateur team on the east coast. David Somerville’s extensive racing knowledge from his 15 years of racing gives him a unique advantage to lead this squad as Elite Team Director.

KraftGenie Cycling Inc., also runs the development squad headed up by Mike Mitchell and Tim Casey. Both of these riders have been with the company since its inception two years ago and have already begun to mold the 12 riders into a cohesive unit, working together like a professional squad.

Lise Dupuis heads the eight woman development squad in only her second year on the team. We are proud to have her as our Women’s Team Captain and look forward to the results she will get after heading up this promising young team.

Champion System is the title sponsor of this team and our exclusive clothing supplier. Champion System is based out of New York with production facilities in China. This is their second year of sponsorship with the team and we are happy to say that through the hard efforts and cooperation with KraftGenie Cycling Inc., Champion System had a breakthrough year last year supplying more and more teams with their racing clothing.
