In 2020, Mavic was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:placed in receivership following a botched 2018 sale of the company that left 250 employees at risk. Last July, the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bourrelier Group acquired Mavic and announced a res🐬tructuring to refocus the company on its main specialty, wheels, dispensing with ventu💃res into shoes, helmets, apparel and other accessories.
At the time, the new owners made no mention whether they would continue Mavic𓄧's 40-year agreement to provide neutral support to the ASO races, a deal that had been renewed through 2022 the previous year.
Now, as Shimano celebrates its 100th year in business, the Japanese compon♏ent manufacturer has signed a deal to support mos💮t of cycling's marquee events.
In the event of a mechanical issue or a crash, racers ไwill be able to get help from Shimano’s neutral support team, regardless of which groupset they’re running.
