The Jittery Joe’s Pro Cycling Team documentary will make its television debut on VERSUS July 4th at 3:30pm EST (check local listings at http://www.versus.com/).
Louis Garneau is the head to toe to frame sponsorship for Jittery Joe’s Professional Cycling Team for the fourth consecutive year. “We are very excited to have our documentary premiering on VERSUS—North America’s national cable television home of the Tour de France,” said Micah Rice, Jittery Joe’s Team General Manager, “All of North America will be able to see behind the scenes of a real American pro cycling team.” "Jittery Joe’s represents an opportunity to work with new talent. Every year, teams are stealing riders from Jittery Joe’s because the team, along with their manager Micah Rice, has the know-how to bring riders to international status. This philosophy is exactly what Louis Garneau stands for, encouraging competitive cycling at all levels. It’s not about being the best team, it is about developing the best both in terms of riders and gear," said Pierre Perron, Marketing Director at Louis Garneau USA. "From head to toe to frame, Louis Garneau will outfit the 13 member team. This sponsorship exemplifies our motto: Designed by the Pros, With Every Athlete in Mind.”

This year, Jittery Joe’s sports an aggressive roster boasting riders with lots of big race experience as well as some neo pros. The team will have six Americans, five Australians, one Colombian and one Canadian. Returning members include Evan Elken, Trent Wilson, Jeff Hopkins, Austin King, Neil Shirley, and Cody Stevenson. Cesar Grajales known for defeating Lance Armstrong on the queen stage of the 2004 Tour de Georgia will return to Jittery Joe’s this season. New members include Matt Shriver; Tommy Nankevis; Thad Dulin; Chris Jongewaard; and David Veilleux. David Veilleux is a young Canadian already turning heads on the world scene. A former Junior National Champion and Espoir National Champion, David will be able to learn a lot from the older riders on the team and will soon be a well-known name. “We have put together the strongest squad that Jittery Joe’s has had in our six year history,” said Micah Rice, Team Manager, “we will be a contender in any race we attend whether it be a fast criterium like the Athens Twilight or a grueling stage race like the Tour de Georgia. We are excited to be going into our 4th year of sponsorship with the industry’s leader in head to toe sponsorship. Louis Garneau makes it easy for our pro team, one stop shopping for quality custom clothing, helmets, base layer, shoes and bicycles!” Louis Garneau not only offers the most innovative and technical custom clothing in the industry, but excels in customer service and delivery.
