Frankie Andreu to direct Team Kenda Pro Cycling
Published: Oct. 16, 2009
Press Release

CLEVELAND, Ohio (October 16, 2009) – After its first season as a UCI Continental (Pro) Team, Kenda Pro Cycling continues to grow and expand, welcoming Frankie Andreu on board next season as director sportif, and Gear Grinder, a cyclist-specific casual clothing company as the new presenting sponsor.

After twelve years as a professional cyclist (1989-2000) for America’s top teams – 7-Eleven, Motorola, and USPS - Andreu has worked as a director for top American teams (e.g., Toyota-United and Rock Racing) in addition to commentating for Universal Sports and Versus. He also has an elite coaching program and engages in motivational speaking all across America.

Another boost to the program is the addition of new presenting sponsor, Gear Grinder. Along with the partnership with Paul Weaver, co-founder of Gear Grinder apparel, came the recruitment of Chad Hartley, James Stemper, and Rob White from Weaver’s Gear Grinder Elite Team, a dominant presence in the Mid-West last season. Hartley, who came back from a successful surgery to repair his iliac endofibrosis to dominate the Tour of America’s Dairyland, and Stemper, who won Superweek’s Best Amateur prize, will be added to the pro roster, while White will join the elite ranks for 2010.

Team updates are available at www.kendaprocycling.com.


Plus, I was just reading on Stemper's seldomly updated blog, that he's moving to AZ in November.
