www.cyclingbargains.com Racing Team brings Orr back to Britain
Cyclingbargains.com - Infinis Racing Team today announced the completion of its 2009 National Team with the signing of Leicestershire based elite rider Rob Orr.
28 year old Orr came into cycling just 3 years ago to help with fitness whilst treating a long term injury from international running. After a successful season cycle racing in the UK in 2005 he rapidly rose through the British Cycling rankings before taking up a full time cycling career in France in 2006 and 2007. During his time in France he rode for CC Plancoet. However 2008 turned out to be a bad year for Orr as the team he signed for collapsed, and he came down with Glandular Fever, writing off most of his season.
Orr said upon joining the team, " I am excited about this team, it's riders, camaraderie and sponsors. I am particularly glad to be representing www.cyclingbargains.com as they have the ambition and drive to continue building a strong team. My main focus will be the Premier Calendar, Elite Circuit Races and The Rutland-Melton Cicle Classic, though after my 2008, in 2009 I will also be happy to simply be racing again. The team has some good backers and we will be riding Kinesis Racelight frames with Catlike helmets which are quality brands so I am delighted to be using them."
Naming his National line up Team Manger Rod Freeman said, "There has been a lot of speculation recently on teams for 2009. Although we aren't in the same league as the big 4 we hope to be mixing it with them in the UK's top cycle races next year. Rob brings a lot of experience to the team for Premier Calendar races and gives 100% to all he does. We are honoured to have a rider of Rob's calibre on board and have already spent quite a bit of time looking into the races the National Team will ride next year. We hope the depth we now have will secure us entry into the Tour of Britain Circuit Race series this summer."
