Loughborough based rider, Raphael Deinhart from Stuttgart will join other high profile local riders Dan Booth, Matt Jennings and Carl Dyson as part of the teams new National set up for 2009.
Having completed a degree in Sports Science at Loughborough earlier this year Deinhart will now take up a full time position with the team and concentrate on British Cycling's Premier Calendar and Elite Circuit Race series. One of his key aims is to improve on his 17th place in last years top one day international race, that takes place in April, in Leicestershire, Cicle Classic. Deinhart can't rule out a top 8 place in this years event as UCI points would make him eligible to ride the German National Championships.
Deinhart progressed quickly in 2007 to secure his 1st category licence and will end 2008 as the 29th highest placed 1st category rider in the country. He also secured 10th highest ranked rider in the East Midlands this year. Securing 6 podium places in races this year including winning two, Deinhart also came 8th in the Regional Championships, 6th in the local Duncan Murray Wines Road Race, 10th at the Brentwood Elite Circuit Race as well as a number of top 30 places in Premier Calendar Races throughout the country.
Deinhart said upon joining www.cyclingbargains.com - Infinis Racing Team, "I am really excited to have joined the team. I feel it will be the best team in the East Midlands next year and I think we can turn some heads at National Races as well. On a personal level I want to continue developing as a bike rider and bring home some top results for the team"
Team Manager, Rod Freeman said " Raphael is a top class East Midlands rider and I remain committed to developing local talent. I am sure the team around Raphael will help him deliver his aims for next year and we welcome him on board. The development of a National level team within the squad is new for us for 2009 and we plan to have six riders who can compete in Premier Calendar events, Elite Circuit Races and hopefully the Tour of Britain Circuit Races as well. Most of these are televised races and we believe the results we can gain will offer our sponsors excellent exposure."
