Louis Garneau is proud to announce the helmet and shoe sponsorship of the 2009 Ironman 70.3 Athlete of the Year, Joe Gambles. Gambles will be riding the Louis Garneau Vorttice Helmet and Carbon Tri HRS shoes for the 2011 Season. In 2010, Gambles wore both products to his first Ironman win in Wisconsin and backed that performance up at the 2010 Foster Grant Ironman 70.3 World Championship with a 4th place finish and the fastest bike split of the day.

"I am very excited to become officially part of the Louis Garneau team. As a professional athlete, I am always looking for the best equipment and Louis Garneau are leading the way in the advancement of cycling shoes and helmets for both the triathlon and road elite market. I look forward to a long-term relationship where I am able not only to represent the brand well through my racing but also be part of the development and innovation that Louis Garneau is renowned for," remarked Gambles.
