Champion System To Sponsor The First-Ever Asian Based Pro Continental Cycling Team

Champion System, the worldwide leader in custom technical apparel, is excited to announce its support of a ground breaking cycling franchise. Champion System is sponsoring the first-ever Asian based UCI Professional Continental Cycling Team in 2012. In 2011, Champion System was the title sponsor of its own Continental team that was registered in Hong Kong. That was a one year venture and for 2012 Champion System is increasing their sponsorship with a new and entirely different project.

The new Champion System Professional Continental Team will feature Asia’s top cyclists as well as seasoned European and international professionals. One of the primary goals of the team is to allow Asia's top cyclists to compete at the highest level of the sport. Until now opportunities for Asian racers to compete in major International competitions has been rare. Besides racing in the major UCI Tours in Asia, the team will compete in professional tours in Europe and North America with the goal to develop Asian-based World and Olympic champions.

Edward Beamon has been hired as the Team Director. Edward is recognized as one of the longest standing Manager/Directeur Sportif in the U.S., running the former Navigators Insurance Cycling team for 14 consecutive seasons, between 1993 and 2007. He went on to direct the US-based Team Type 1 in 2008. In 2010 he joined Fly V Australia Pro Cycling Team as Technical Director.
