Lazer Helmets announced today that it will support Amy Dombroski with helmets for the balance of the 2009/2010 cyclocross season.

“We have worked with Amy previously as a member of the Webcor Builders Women’s Professional Team. She is a great rider, gets results and is a fantastic representative of the sport and our products,” stated Christopher Smith of Lazer Helmets. “We are really happy to be able to continue with Amy into 2010!”

“As a member of Webcor last season, we were lucky to ride Lazer Helmets, and that is when I realized that a helmet is more than just a brain cap,” stated Amy. “Other helmets were a chore to wear; looking like a mushroom, feeling like a brick with a chin strap, and giving me headaches because the fit was off! Lazer has revolutionized the helmet into one that feels like your favorite tuque. The best part, for luscious locks, is there is a cut-out on the back of the helmet for your ponytail. To add to that, it is wicked light and the Rollsys® retention system is the easiest to use and really fine-tunes the fit. I am stoked to be able to use a helmet I trust, and one that I enjoy to wear for the remainder of the cyclocross season!”

Amy’s racing results have been impressive. She is the current USA Espoir National Champion in every discipline of endurance cycling - Cyclocross, MTB, and road. Cyclocross results this year so far include a 2nd and 3rd place finish at the last stop of the USGP series in Louisville, KY and a 2nd place yesterday at the Boulder Cup.

Lazer Helmets wishes Amy good luck for a successful cyclocross racing season!

REDWOOD CITY, CA - Webcor Builders Women’s Professional Cycling announced its 2009 official roster. Building off of last season’s tremendous success of four Beijing Olympians, this year’s goal will be to reassert the team’s dominance on the North American stage and road racing scene as it builds towards medal capability at the 2012 London Games. The team has the talent, the organization, and the mentoring skills to do it.

Olympians Erinne Willock and Gina Grain have returned for another season. “The Webcor Women’s Cycling Team is a shining example of an organization that breeds success. Everyone involved, from riders to staff, demonstrates dedication, passion, determination, drive, perseverance, hard work, and a positive attitude.” said Grain a multi-time national champion and veteran of the North American racing circuit.

Willock and Grain are joined by Katheryn Curi Mattis. Mattis made history in 2008- becoming only the 2nd US rider ever to win a UCI Road World Cup event. Winning the Australia World Cup as part of her trade team sent the clear message that Webcor riders were competitive on the world stage.

Also returning are three rising talents who benefited immensely from racing at the highest level in Australia, New Zealand and Europe with their more experienced Webcor teammates in 2008. They are Rebecca Much, 2008 U23 US National Time Trial Champion, Amy Dombroski, 2008 U23 National Cyclocross Champion, and Janel Holcomb, 2nd overall in the 2008 Green Mountain Stage Race.

Trebon now holds 200 points in the series to Johnson’s 170 points. Powers rests in third spot with 90 points.

Wendy Simms (Kona) and Sue Butler (Monaviecannondale.com) are tied for second spot with 100 points though neither competed in Gloucester. The Canadian National Cyclocross Championships unfortunately conflicted with Gloucester were Simms defended her women’s title. Dombroski’s two wins will make an interesting battle of Generation Y versus Generation X as the over thirty five paring of Simms and Butler try to take back the lead in the final four races.
