2XU Ambassador and Olympic cycling champ Sara Carrigan has proven she’s every bit as high performance in the business arena as she was on the track!  Carrigan, who won gold in the cycling road race in Athens (2004), retired from professional cycling after Beijing and set up the Sara Carrigan Cycling School.

The school, which provides training for absolute beginners through to intermediate riders, has just won the Emerging Business trophy at theGold Coast Business Excellence Awards for June.

From all a 2XU – congratulations Sara!  Keep up that high performance work.

2XU Sponsored Virgin Teams, Fly V Australia – Pro Cycling Team and development squad Virgin Blue RBS Morgans Cycling Team, clocked impressive results across the weekend. 

At the Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove in Chicago, USA, Team Fly V’s Jonathan Cantwell added Stage 3 to his Stage 2 win and in doing so, won the prestigious Tour overall.

Cantwell placed well in the Stage 1 prologue Time Trial and clinched the Tour overall with wins in both Stage 2 and 3.   With time bonuses for the first three places each day of 20 – 12 – 8 seconds respectively to win the Tour, winning stages was imperative.

Closer to home, Pat Shaw from the Virgin Blue RBS Morgans cycling team backed up his Toowoomba victory with an overall win at Gippsland, Victoria.  Shaw confirmed his form and consistency by riding a tactically smart race to clinch his second tour win in succession. 

Shaw started the final stage of the five day tour with a 14 second lead over Joseph Lewis (Drapac Porsche) and 33

second buffer to Cameron Jennings (Budget Forklifts).  Shaw was quick to acknowledge the support of his team mates; “This is a another great win for the Virgin Blue RBS Morgans cycling team and I would not have achieved this result without the support of my mates. Cameron Peterson, Michael Freiberg, James Hepburn, Ben Dyball, Scott Law and Rhys Gillett, this yellow jersey is for them.”

From Team 2XU, big congratulations to both cycling Teams.  Keep up the great work guys!
