SRAM RED TURNS YELLOWSpecial SRAM RED groupsets make their appearance at the 2009 Tour de France

N E W S L E T T E R 07/2009

In recent years, Tour de France winners have rolled onto the Champs Elysées with thematic equipment to celebrate their winning journey on the fi nal day in Paris. This year was no exception: Alberto Contador riding a fully custom decorated Trek Madone, with a matching yellow themed SRAM RED groupset. Contador, was not the only rider to get the full yellow treatment. Fabian Cancellara who held the yellow jersey during the fi rst week of the Tour rode his customized Spe-cialized Tarmac bike equipped with yellow themed SRAM RED parts.

SRAM RED components were not short of customiza-tion at the 2009 Tour de France. In addition to the yel-low touch, SRAM’s fl agship groupset was designed in a sleek white version to equip Lance’s Damien Hirst designed Trek and Alberto’s three Grand Tour celebration bike. While the special themed bikes were all about yellow and white, the standard SRAM RED groupsets benefi ted from an eye catching enlar-ged SRAM logo on the brake lever.

Wow!! SRAM RED custom colored parts equip SRAM’s top riders at the 2009 Tour de France
