Nissan, Official Vehicle of RadioShack Cycling Team

The North American division of Nissan became an official partner of Lance Armstrong’s new Team RadioShack pro cycling team. The team consists of 25 professional riders from around the world, including Armstrong, who is the seven-time winner of the Tour de France and founder of the LIVESTRONG Charitable Foundation.

"There's a powerful alignment between cycling enthusiasts' interests and Nissan's in terms of performance, durability and sustainability - whether their favorite ride has two wheels or four," said Christian Meunier, vice president, Nissan Marketing, NNA. "It is a solid platform to launch many exciting products here in the United States and around the globe."

The team will compete in several professional cycling races throughout 2010, including the Tour de France, Tour of Missouri, Tour of California and other major Pro Cycling events around the globe.

"We're very excited to have Nissan join as a partner of Team RadioShack. Team vehicles and new technologies play a key role in the success of any professional cycling team and we look forward to using Nissan products as we race around the world,"
said Armstrong.

"We know that Nissan has some cutting-edge product launches on the horizon and we look forward to an excellent and winning partnership with our new Nissan friends for many years to come,"
he continued.

"The connection between health, wellness and sustainable mobility, such as Nissan supports with the upcoming Nissan LEAF electric vehicle and our Green Program 2010, is a natural. Nissan has been a proud supporter of the LIVESTRONG Challenge and looks forward to working together with the LIVESTRONG Foundation and their fight against cancer," added Meunier.
