RLX Polo Sport and Tomac have joined forces for the 2003 racing season. The RLX Polo Sport Mountain
Biking Team will ride the Tomac Buckshot and the Tomac Revolver in National and World Cup events
throughout North America and Europe. Also on slate for the team are mountain biking festivals and
24-hour races in the United States to keep the team near their mountain biking roots.
John Tomac was very upbeat about the new partnership and said "I am very excited to see Tomac
Bicycles back on the professional racing circuit and I look forward to working with the team at the
race events in 03. This will not only be an excellent proving ground for our x-country product, but
it will also enables Tomac to stay on the cutting edge of product development using the RLX Polo
Sport riders as additional R & D test pilots. "
Returning to the team's roster for 2003 are Jimena Florit the Argentinean who resides in San Diego,
CA, winner of four nationals and overall winner of the NORBA Championship Series in 2002; Jeremy
Horgan-Kobelski from Boulder, CO, the 2002 U.S. NORBA National Champion and Dave Wiens from
Gunnison, CO, a former US National Champion and Hall of Famer. The remaining roster will be
announced soon. Franklin Henry from Boulder, CO, who has been with the team since the mid 1990's,
manages the team.
Tomac is part of the American Bicycle Group family, a Chattanooga, TN based company that is the
parent company of Litespeed, Merlin Metalworks, Tomac, and Quintana Roo.
