Colnago bikes were in the spot­light in China this week after another impres­sive per­for­mance from Team Type 1-Sanofi. The US-based team that pro­motes the con­trol of dia­betes via healthy liv­ing and sport won three stages and fin­ished on the podium sev­eral other times.

Russia’s Aleksandr Serebryakov won stage two and stage five, secur­ing him the blue points jer­sey, while Aldo Ilesic won stage three and also fin­ished sixth over­all. All three vic­to­ries came thanks to impres­sive team­work from the Team Type 1 – Sanofi rid­ers and superb fin­ish­ing sprints from Serebryakov and Ilesic.

They won rid­ing their Colnago M10 and Colnago C59 Italia car­bon fibre race bikes.

Team Type 1-Sanofi General Manager Vassili Davidenko wel­comed the lat­est for the team and pointed to a long list of suc­cess dur­ing the 2012 season.

“Serebryakov is a great tal­ent and a fast fin­isher. He has the poten­tial to become one of the great sprint­ers of cycling, Davidenko said.

“With his two wins at the Tour of China this year, plus a string of achieve­ments by the whole team stretch­ing back to February, it is very sat­is­fy­ing to have so many good results from so many dif­fer­ent rid­ers. Already in 2012 we have 12 vic­to­ries and more than 60 podi­ums, all from nearly a dozen peo­ple. We are excep­tion­ally proud of the hard work and effort that has paid off so well this year.”
