Cycling: Canyon continues to open up to the increasingly popular triathlon – as the people from Koblenz announced, they will be the new sponsor of old master Jan Frodeno. In 33, the 2008-year-old Olympic champion from 2015 will be aiming for the long-distance crown on his new Canyon Speedmax CF.
After numerous successes in recent years, such as winning the team world championship in 2013, "Frodo" increasingly focused on the long distance. At the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt he made it onto the podium in third place and he was also able to celebrate bronze at the Ironman Hawaii. Of course, this path to success should continue in 2015, ideally with the crown over long distances – with Canyon as a new partner: “I have defined the Hawaii victory in 2015 as my personal goal and with the Speedmax I have the right vehicle to get to “Project Kona” as quickly as possible. The first tests were all very promising and show that we harmonize well with each other due to our common German roots.”
In Koblenz, too, people are happy about the cooperation. The man from Cologne should also make a valuable contribution in terms of development work: “His many years of experience and his attention to detail will be a big plus for our development work in the triathlon sector. We are proud to welcome such a passionate triathlete to the Canyon Crew.” says founder and managing director Roman Arnold.
