Acura TSX Sport Wagon Is Official Vehicle of the BMC Racing Team

Honda’s luxury division, Acura, announced today it has signed an agreement with the BMC Racing Team, becoming the official North American vehicle sponsor of the professional cycling team. The partnership will see Acura providing a fleet of specially-equipped TSX Sport Wagons to the BMC Racing Team for use as team cars at all North American races.

These races include the Amgen Tour of California, the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah, the Grand Prix of Montreal and Quebec and the all-new USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado.

The vehicles are equipped with Acura's hard-drive-based Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition and a custom Thule roof rack system (capable of holding seven BMC bicycles and six spare wheels).

During races, each modified TSX Sport Wagon will serve as a rolling command center, repair shop, hospital and cafeteria to support BMC Racing Team riders. The BMC Racing Team Acura TSX Sport Wagons will debut at the week-long 2011 Amgen Tour of California, starting May 15 in South Lake Tahoe, CA.

"The BMC Racing Team is one of the top teams in professional cycling,"
said Steve Center, vice president of national marketing operations for Acura. "Their aggressive approach and commitment to the best technology and constant improvement make them a perfect match with the Acura brand."

"A winning team is as much about having a top rider as it is about having a top support team," said BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz. "Thanks to its sporty driving character and ample cargo capacity, the Acura TSX Sport Wagon is a perfect match for the needs of our team."
