Meron Teshome with great 2nd place on stage 11 at Tour of Qinghai Lake (UCI 2.HC)

After Meron has already showed the last two days with 2 times top 10 that he is in a promising shape, the whole team was motivated to step up with great results on today's stage. Knowing about the strength of the fast man from Eritrea, the team wanted to support Meron with no comprimise.

In the final of the stage the team led Meron out in a perfect position to start his sprint and he finished with a great performance only beaten by Jakub Mareczko from Italian Procontinental team Wilier Trestina. Marko Kump from World Tour team Lampre – Merida completed the podium on place 3, who already won 2 stages of this year's Tour of Qinghai Lake.

After taking this great result, Meron Teshome said with a big smile on his face: "today was a perfect day. The whole team comitted yesterday to work very hard to bring me in a good position and the guys did a great job. In the end I had the pressure to finalize the good work and to finish 2nd in such a big race with such great sprinters is just awesome".

A letter from Angel David Rodriguez

Hi, for those of you that don't know me very well my name is Angel David Rodriguez, I am a 10 year old from Doral, Florida that love the sport of cycling. When you see this, I will be on my way to California, to compete on a Mountain Bike XC race for the National Title. My performance will be dedicated to all the kids in this World that like me are touched by the Autism Spectrum. On Wednesday about 4:30 pm pacific time, all of you can help me with your thoughts and prayers so we, together can make this happen.
Although I am well prepared mentally and physically by may coach Filippo Barbieri and I will be riding my trusty Stradalli 650 B AKA "The Beauty". Your wishes will be the extra boost needed to get the best result possible. For some of us "Autism is not a disability, it's just a different ability"

Stradalli Cycle Introduces The RD17 Hydraulic Disc Brake , ultrgra 11 carbon Road Bike For Under $2,000

Carbon Bike Manufacturer Stradalli Cycle has announced that beginning

immediately they will begin offering the Stradalli Carbon RD17 Hydraulic

DiscBrake Road Bike which includes Shimano Ultegra 11 Speed, for less than $2,000.

Road bikes tend to cost between the $2,000 to $15,000 range based on

quality and components. Hydraulic disc brakes are becoming very popular in the cycling world because they offer more control, stopping power and

perform better in wet weather. However, they are also more expensive than

standard rim brakes as they require more time to assemble and more

expensive equipment. Stradalli Cycle set a goal of building a carbon road

bike with hydraulic disc brakes that would be affordable for any cyclist.

“What people don’t realize is that when they walk into a bike shop and see the selection they are dealing with a middleman. That shop already

purchased the cycles and marked them up so that they can make a profit on

a sale. We are not the middlemen, we sell our own brand and that’s why we

can offer quality full carbon cycles at lower prices than the competition.

Our quality is undeniable as our pro race teams are having success all

over the world, our customers love our product and our prices are

unbeatable. But it’s easy to offer something a little cheaper than

everyone else. We wanted to be different, truly unique and that’s the

significance of the RD17. You will literally pay twice as much or more for

the exact same bike at a bike shop. That’s what we want people to

understand.” Stradalli Cycle CFO Jeff swersky

The RD17 road bike with hydraulic disc brake is available online at the

company site and can be shipped anywhere in the world for below $2000 .

An Affordable Carbon Road Bike From Stradalli Cycle

New to cycling or have an interest in it? There could be a few things keeping you from getting into the sport and most of the time it tends to be the cost of the bikes. Full carbon bikes do make a world of difference and the majority of cyclists enjoy riding, do it as a form of exercise or even just as a method of transportation. However, eventually you want to see how you can do against other cyclists, it’s addicting and that’s when you start to get really competitive. You’re in pretty good shape, you ride your bike for hours each week and you go for a group ride one morning or join in a small local race. Within 30 seconds you can’t even see the group and you are left in the dust.

Why did this happen? Are you out of shape? Are you that bad at racing? Probably not, the reason they got away from you so quickly is because you aren’t riding a carbon bicycle, yes it does make that much of a difference.

When you hear the term “carbon cycle” you think light weight and expensive. Understand that cycling is a hobby but to compete many riders want the advantage that pro racers get. Carbon bikes are lighter, more durable and give you a distinct advantage when riding. It doesn’t matter if you are a strong cyclist or not, if you aren’t riding carbon you will always be at a big disadvantage.

So you understand the value but the price is still too high! It’s true, full carbon bikes can cost as much as $10,000 or even more. Luckily for you there’s Stradalli Cycle.

Stradalli Cycle offers a great selection of carbon road bikes at an affordable price including the RD17 hydraulic disc brake bicycle with Shimano Ultegra 6800 andVision Team 30 Wheelset.

This is the perfect bicycle for a beginner cyclist who is looking to race more competitively and start pushing themselves. The bike is sturdy, handles great and of course is light weight to help you get the most out of your ride. But most importantly is that this quality of bicycle would cost you twice as much at local bike shops and big brand stores.

But how can you trust the quality? Half the price of the big brands sounds too good to be true. Well Stradalli anticipated that question and that’s why they put their money where their mouth is. The company sponsors/owns over half a dozen pro race teams and riders around the world including the Stradalli – Bike Aid German Conti Team, Stradalli – Papa John’s Women’s Elite Team and many more.

Stradalli – Bike Aid – Mont Ventoux training camp racers are preparing

The European racing schedule is intensifying. We are in full swing with the spring classics well under way. The Tour of Flanders finished this past weekend and Paris – Roubaix is nearly upon us. Many of the classics riders are in top form this time of year, but the general classification riders are just getting started.

Stradalli – Bike Aid began their season early in Africa , Germany and in Spain as do most UCI teams. Since they have taken several podiums in Africa and are now preparing for the important stage races with a team training camp.

Places such as Tenerife are famous for their high elevation and tough training conditions. Teams such as Sky and Astana frequent the area to prepare their riders for the high elevation of big stage races. This year Stradalli – Bike Aid has chosen the battleground for many Tour de France routes as their choice for high mountains training, Mont Ventoux.

Mont Ventoux has long been a mainstay of the Tour de France route due to its beauty, but also its diversity. The variety of conditions riders experience on Mont Ventoux makes it incredibly difficult. It begins as a sheltered, gradually rising road through the green forests of France, but finishes at the top of a barren and windy mountain peak with incredible steep roads which switch back and forth up the mountain.

Mont Ventoux has featured in the Tour de France 15 times over the years, 10 of which were summit finishes. In 2013, Chris Froome of Team Sky won atop Mont Ventoux on his way to winning the yellow jersey. The difficulty of the mountain has made those who win legends of the sport. Richard Virenque, Marco Pantani and Eddy Merckx are all on the list of riders to win atop Mont Ventoux.

Stradalli – Bike Aid will face similar challenges in Africa, Europe and Asia in the coming months. The Tour of Eritrea will reach 2,500 meters, a height surpassing that of Mont Ventoux. The team has been training all over the world in preparation for upcoming races in high tech facilities such as the STAPS facility in Koln, Germany. Now the team is bringing their fitness to the road and putting themselves to the test on the toughest mountains Europe has to offer.

Stradalli – Bike Aid’s next race will begin April 19^th in Eritrea.

Daniel Bichlman of Stradalli – Bike Aid pro cycling team Cameroon Diary #3

After a relaxing rest day yesterday in touristy well developed Limbe on the coast of Cameroon we traveled with the tour entourage (with free room and board, including the driver of the Congolese national team who had accidentally missed their original arrival flight, but now they do not want to miss out).

The severe sixth stage between Mbanga and Bafanga was over 129km. From my first participation of the Tour of Cameroon in 2014 I just felt that this was the stage for me. That’s why I and the rest of the team were motivated even more to start on the offensive.

Finally, the group of the day consisted of a Moroccan and myself. Everyone who knows me knows how much I appreciate the typical North African practices. I was surprised to learn that we had a chaser and was even more surprised to learn it was my teammate Jean Bosco from Rwanda who had won the stage the day before. After we teamed up the Moroccan racer no longer wanted to work together.

To get the stage win to the team I decided to try and wear down the Moroccans by alternating attacks. I went on the attack and Jean Bosco wasn’t as fresh as the day before but I wanted to grab the bull by the horns.

All communications were difficult because Bosco is still trying to improve his English. I tried to be as aerodynamic as possible to master my Stradalli Aversa racing machine to curve the remaining 25km of the day.

Unfortunately the group got away from me before the summit of the last climb of the day. I was frustrated and just wanted to get back to the air conditioned hotel room. However, when I saw our teammate Amanuel Mengis had finished well to improve to 3^rd place overall I felt better. 

STRADALLI – BIKE AID TAKES WHITE JERSEY IN TOUR DU CAMEROUN

Amanuel Mengis Ghebriendrias taken the lead of the youth classification of the Tour du Cameroun with only 2 stages left in the 8 day UCI 2.2 Africa Tour race.

Amanuel Mengis has placed in the top 10 in every stage so far at the Tour du Cameroun. His consistent placings have seen him slowly rise to the top of the general classification. He now sits 3^rd overall for the entire race and is the best young rider at the Tour du Cameroun.

Stradalli – Bike Aid also sits second in the points classification and third in the mountains classification. The Tour du Cameroun has been a huge success for Stradalli – Bike Aid this far in the race.

Stradalli – Bike Aid Management said the performance of the team and the bikes has been perfect from day 1.

“We haven’t had any issues with crashes and all the riders are riding better than we could have dreamed of. Our equipment is top notch so we have no issues competing at this level. Only two stages are left and the team is very positive.” Management said.

Stradall-Bike Aid Jean Bosco Nsengimana Wins Stage 5 Of Tour du Cameroun

Today’s 5TH stage of Tour the Cameroon, Jean Bosco Nsengimana took his first victory for Team STRADALLI – BIKE AID in 2016. 

Daniel Bichlmann, Amanuel Mengis and Patrick Lechner ended up with a amazing places 6, 8 and 9. Four racers in the top 10 at a UCI 2.2

What more can we say than the obvious. Today was not the worst day the guys had so far. That the trend went up during the last days was also obvious, but no one expected such a result or even dream of it. Four Stradalli-Bike Aid riders finished among the Top 10 and taking the stage win in solitude,  just incredible ! “It was just an amazing day today. We were all highly motivated after Amanuel’s 2^nd place yesterday and planned to put Jean Bosco in the break, because everybody was watching Amanuel now. And we did it!”, Yves Beau, the Sporting Director of the team said.

The 5^th stage led about 101 Kilometers from Douala to Kimba through slight hilly landscape. Those were the best conditions for Jean Bosco Nsengimana, the climber from Rwanda who rides for the German Pro team STRADALLI – BIKEAID since January 2016: “I am more than happy now that I took the first win on my Stradalli Aversa and im in this awesome new jersey. This means really a lot to me and makes me proud to race for our team. And the guys support for me was absolutely great!” Nsengimana said. The ambitions still remain high now, as with Amanuel Mengis and Jean Bosco Nsengimana the team STRADALLI – BIKE AID has super strong climbers and both of them are still able to win the general classification.

Today is definitely a great day for the entire team and all sponsors for team STRADALLI – BIKEAID today we have a reason to smile and celebrate 

March Madness Starts For Stradalli/Wizard Racing Development Team

It will be March Madness for more than just your favorite college basketball team. The Stradalli/Wizard Racing Development Team is off to a strong start this season and they want to continue that stretch during a month full of tough competition and multiple road races. 

One thing the young team has going for them is solid coaching. The one on one style is perfect for the smaller roster because it gives each young racer an opportunity to work on his or her game with more teaching from the coach. Attention to detail is key for the young but very talented racers as even a single mistake can be the difference between finishing near the back or winning a race. 

Another bonus for the team is that this year they are racing on Stradalli Cycle R7 Star full carbon road bikes which has been a big hit with the young riders as they get to use pro level tour quality.

It doesn't matter if you are on a bike or in a race car, racing is the ultimate form of competition in sports and that's why people follow it with such passion. Stradalli Cycle wishes Denny Hamlin and the FedEx Toyota #11 Car and Crew all the best this season and look forward to seeing him racing for a championship this November in Homestead.
