Planet Bike
I met Bob Downs, the solo owner of Planet Bike at the time, in January of 2009. I was looking for a title sponsor, he was looking for a cyclocrosser. He told me that if he became my title sponsor, my family and I would be "part of the family". Bob has stayed true to his word. The whole family was welcomed by everyone at PB and we have formed a good friendship. Planet Bike is a great fit for me because they truly care about me and my family and they only want what is best for me and my career. I appreciate their support of me and of bicycling as a whole. Not only do they sponsor an elite team, but they sponsor several local teams, a masters team, and they give 25% of profits to bicycle advocacy.

Blue
I have known Mike Skop, the part owner of Blue, for many years but our partnership just began in December of 2008.  Since then, Blue has built the perfect bike for me, even allowing me to be a big part of the designing process. They make a great bike that will hopefully ride it's way to many podium finishes this year.

Enve
My partnership with Edge began last year and I have been more than happy with their wheels and the people in their company. The wheels are light, stiff, strong and fast. This season I will also be using their bars, stems and seat posts and I expect that I will be just as happy with them. In addition, Beverly (Edge marketing), has helped me start a future with my cycling career, which has made a huge impact on my life.

Lazer
I have been riding with a Lazer helmet since July of 2007. They started as a team sponsor and moved with me to become my individual helmet sponsor. The helmets are incredibly comfortable and they look good! My daughter and my wife wear them too!

Shimano
Shimano has been with me since I can remember. They have always helped me out with whatever I needed, even before I turned my hobby into a career. I will always be thankful for that. Shimano makes great, high quality components that I can really rely on even in the worst of conditions.

Spy Optic
Spy Optic is new to my family of sponsors. I am really excited to be a Spy Athlete! It is a pretty amazing group of athletes to be included with! The best thing is that they are cyclocross racers themselves from top to bottom, and are super enthusiastic about working with me!  Their eyewear has a very unique look and makes me look good, too!

Vermarc
Vermarc has been my clothing supplier for many great seasons now. I love the quality of their product, and they always get me what I need when I need it, often working under extremely tight deadlines.  The clothing is fantastic and it makes me want to put it on and RIDE!

Prediletto, Halpin, Scharnikow and Nelson, P.S.
I first met Greg Nelson of PHS&P in 1998 when he and good friend, Jack, came to Belgium to check out the Classics. A year later, he was one of three heroes that saved my cycling career when an accidental missed doping control test almost put me out of the sport for a year or two. He's become a good friend and this season, he is one of my sponsors too!

Herriott Sports Performance
Todd Herriott has been a good friend since we were teammates on Colavita several years ago. Since retiring, he has started his own "science center" made up of really smart people to help racers like me, get more out of our workouts and races.  I am very excited to train under Todd's supervision and take my career to the next level.

Franky's Cycling Solution  
Franky and Cindy have been great friends to both Cori and me since our first season in Belgium, in 2002. They have done everything from organize my first contracts, to hunting down sponsors, to finding us our own place to live, to being my full time race mechanics. Without their support, I wouldn't be where I am today.

 
TRP Brakes 
This is my first year being sponsored by TRP and they are the best brakes I've ever used! I am very happy to have them on my bike.
