Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) and UCI Professional Cycling Team SpiderTech
powered by C10 announced a one year sponsorship agreement making
Herbalife the team's Official Nutrition partner.
The riders will be fueled with the new Herbalife24 sports performance
line, which includes Formula 1 Sport, Hydrate, Prepare, Prolong, Rebuild
Endurance, Rebuild Strength, and Restore.
SpiderTech will compete in the upcoming USA Pro Cycling Challenge in
Colorado, as well as having raced in the Amgen Tour of California, two
of the biggest cycling stage races in the U.S. In addition, SpiderTech
has 100 racing days planned across Europe. With a full-range of sports
nutrition products, Team SpiderTech riders will have an optimal pre-race
meal, hydration, on-the-bike fuel, and multiple recovery options with
Herbalife24. Riders have absolute confidence in the products since every
batch of product is certified and tested by BSCG (Banned Substances
Control Group, www.bscg.org)
for illegal performance-enhancing substances.
"Herbalife had a deep understanding of athletes' nutritional needs when
formulating these products," says Steve Bauer, Director Sportif, and
Olympic medalist who wore the famed Maillot Jaune (Yellow Jersey) in the
Tour de France in 1988 and 1990. "The product diversity suits all of our
riders' needs." Team SpiderTech also hails the fact that the Herbalife24
products do not contain any artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.
"It's something a lot of our riders have been advocates for," says Ian
McLagan, team manager. In addition to the Herbalife24 line, Herbalife
offers a wide array of other supplements including heart health products
ranging from omega-3 fish oils to joint health support.
SpiderTech powered by C10 team soigneur comments that "the riders love
the recovery products, and on cold days, we even serve them warm,
something they really look forward to." Rider Guillaume Boivin, who
finished 7th at Amgen ToC stage 4, said, "Herbalife24 Prolong
really helped me have good sensations at the end of the stage. I had
good feelings in my legs, and I was able to smash the hammer down in the
sprint."
