Like Julich, his bike sponsor, Cervelo, has extended it’s sponsorship of the Danish CSC team to 2006. The relationship, say company founders Gerard Vroomen and Phil White, is at least partially responsible for an 80 percent increase in business over the past 12 months.

The two rolled out their newest time trial rig, the P3 Carbon, a bike already slated to be used by CSC next season. While its design is obviously based on its aluminum big brother, Vroomen noted that some of the new bike’s advantages “are features you can only accomplish in carbon.”
White and Vroomen pointed to the faired seat tube, whose shape can be more carefully controlled when produced in carbon.
“It’s more of a brogressive curve,” said Vroomen. “In aluminum, it’s almost as simple as bike rim, but it’s much more elegant and more aerodynamic in this version.”

Vroomen notes that the design offers several advantages over other top-end TT bike.
“When we took on the original P3 project, we looked at what was out there and noticed that most shared similar problems,” he said. “Most feature bulky head tubes, offer tubes that are poor airfoils and even simple problems like poor cable routing.”
“We solved a lot of those in the original P3 and now, in carbon, we can further refine the design and take it another step up,” Vroomen added.
