December 19, 2007 – “This partnership can now fulfil the Kuota image in the world,” Mr. Ermanno Comalli commented when he signed the agreement with the Team. “After six years of experience in different fields and two triathlon world championships, Kuota is really proud to support an International road team with the aim of joining experience with the best possible technology applied to our products.”

Mr. Mario Comalli said: “Kom and Kueen-K will be our product at the Team’s disposal. They have already tested the frames and have consequently expressed their enthusiastic comments. Together with our partner, we are now working to adjust the weight to satisfy the UCI requests. The current weight is about 6.45 kg.: as everyone knows, adding weight is not a problem. What is really important is to do it in a proper way.
