Stradalli Cycle has announced that they will continue on as the official bike sponsor for the Texas
Roadhouse pro cycling team. The 30-man elite team from Louisville, Kentucky, has been racing around the United States for
over 10 years and in the past were sponsored by manufactures including Aerocat and Cervelo, but switched to Stradalli bikes in 2014- 2015 riding primarily the Stradalli R7 and
AR7.
Last year the Texas Roadhouse team competed in several National Criterium Calendar and National
Racing Calendar races around the United States, bringing home several wins on
Stradalli Cycles. The team has been working closely with Stradalli to promote
both brands and the relationship will continue for this season.
Texas
Roadhouse is stacked with U.S. National Champion racers in road, criterium and track racing in past years. One of the major goals this year is Elite Road Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, but the team will also be focusing heavily on the track. In preparation of this they have padded their roster with many top performing
Marian University cyclists including Brice
Brookshire, Jordan Marhanka and Jos Chalmers who will be joining Texas Roadhouse
for 2016 to help the team compete for national titles. The Marian University
Cycling Program has produced over 30 national titles in its history.
Another
major focus for the Texas Roadhouse team will be track nationals where Curtis
Tolson, owner and captain of Texas Roadhouse, has won several national
championships. Tolson and Texas Roadhouse will be targeting wins in many
major track events throughout the U.S.
Texas
Roadhouse will officially start their season at the Inaugural Cardinal Criterium in
Louisville, Kentucky. The race will be hosted by the University of Louisville, a
school well known for their NCAA Basketball Championships and expects to add to it as March Madness begins.
