Speedy Signs New Zealand are proud to support the SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team.

The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team has named a strong line up for the Powernet Tour of Southland that includes two key members of the New Zealand track endurance team aiming for selection for next year’s Olympics.

SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team General Manager Hayden Godfrey said he thought it was the strongest lineup the SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team has ever named for the tough southern tour which starts on Sunday 30th October with a team’s time trial and ends in Invercargill on Saturday 5th November.

It includes National Elite Time Trial Champion and Olympic bronze medallist Westley Gough and Commonwealth Games and World Championship medallist Pete Latham.

“We have a strong well rounded team and expect to feature prominently during the tour this year,” he said.

“The team has been racing very well together and really looking forward to getting some results in Southland this year.”

The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team has had some unfortunate luck early in racing in its last two trips to Southland, with key riders involved in serious crashes.

“We are looking forward to some good, safe, incident free racing this year. There have been some changes made to the tour stages to freshen things up which add another exciting element this year.”

Godfrey said competition for the six spots in the team for the Tour had been tough, and all the riders selected had proven themselves and were in good form.

The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling Team for the Powernet Tour of Southland is Gough, Latham, Sam Horgan, Paul Odlin, Nick Lovegrove and Ian Smallman.

After two wins from two starts the SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team is looking to consolidate its lead in the team’s classification, the Under 23 and overall individual honours in round three of the Benchmark Homes Elite Tour being held in North Canterbury on Saturday.

The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team has dominated the opening two rounds of the series with Sam Horgan winning in Nelson and his team mate Tom Hubbard winning the second round in Timaru, in the process gaining the lead in the Under 23 classification as well.

The team’s General Manager Hayden Godfrey said he was happy with the “perfect start to the series” with two wins from two events, but it was now important to maintain that momentum.

“It is important the team defends and consolidates the leads in the overall, under 23 and teams competition. They have raced very well together and team morale is high.”

Godfrey said everyone that had to perform to make the SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team selection for the Powernet Tour of Southland which will be announced next week.

Hubbard said he felt he was riding well and was keen to build on his win in round two of the Benchmark Series.

“I really want to hold onto the under 23 leader’s jersey and be in the mix in the overall leaders results, but it’s a team’s race, so I’m conscious we have to perform as a team which will make the individual results easier to come by,” Hubbard said.

Round one winner Horgan was also keen to build on his opening round success, but said he would also be happy if it was another SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team mate that took the individual win.

“The team is going very well, and we all know the course well so we should deliver a good result for the team. We all need to be putting our hands up with strong performances with the team being named next week for the Tour of Southland, so this Saturday is our last chance to show we’ve got the form to head to Southland.”

The Parry Field Lawyers Open round three of the Benchmark Series is 141 kilometres long and starts and finishes in Cust.

The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team for Saturday is Jason Allan, Dillon Bennett, Horgan, Hubbard, Paul Odlin and Ian Smallman.
