The Jelly Belly Pro Cycling Team débuted its new high-tech Speed Suits at the opening prologue at the 2009 Amgen Tour of California Saturday. Developed by the team’s apparel sponsor Champion System, the new Speed Suits have several unique design elements which make them incredibly fast and superior to skin suits of the past.
“In a race against the clock you can win or loose by a hundredth of a second,” said Jelly Belly Pro Cyclist Kiel Reijnen. “The high-tech skin suits we will be wearing in the Amgen Tour of California are designed with that knowledge in mind. These suits are lighter, more breathable, more comfortable and more aerodynamic than any skin suit out there. All of this will help us go faster in a race where every second matters.”
The team will also be wearing the suits at the 2009 Amgen Tour of California Time Trial Friday, Feb. 20 in Solvang, Calif.
