Quarq returns to the pro peloton in 2012 with the Omega Pharma - Quick-Step professional cycling team. The team's Specialized S-Works bikes will be equipped with Quarq CinQo Saturn2 spiders on S-Works Carbon Road crank arms.
Omega Pharma - Quick-Step's accomplished roster includes Tom Boonen (BEL), French national champion Sylvain Chavanel (FRA), Cyclocross World Champion Zdenek Stybar (CZE), Time Trial World Champion Tony Martin (GER) and Levi Leipheimer (USA). They will use a full complement of SRAM products: SRAM RED components, Zipp wheels, bars, stems and 'posts, and Quarq power meters.
The team's first race will be the Santos Tour Down Under beginning on January 15. Quarq technical team liaison, Tony Diem, will be there, and you can expect first-hand race reports as well as behind-the-scenes photos.
