2013 Tyre Brochure - Continental

Sponsorship
The technological edge – from Korbach.
With Phillippe Gilbert of BMC Racing winning the coveted
rainbow jersey, Orica Greenedge bagging the Milan-
SanRemo through Matt Goss and Andre Greipel taking three
Tour de France stage wins, our tyres were again at the
forefront on the UCI WorldTour in 2012.
Add these wins to the fantastic achievements of Jonny and
Alistair Brownlee in winning triathlon gold in both the London
Olympics and the World Triathlon Championships, plus
Rachel Atherton's World Cup Downhill Series 1st place and
you see why top professional athletes always ask for
Continental rubber time and time again.
Regular exchanges between professional athletes and our
engineers contribute to the creation of high performance
tyres at the top of world cycling as well as at production level.
Working closely together, the newest technologies are tried
out and tested in the field to lay the foundations today for the
successes of tomorrow.
Whether it's Danny MacAskill, Martin Söderström (one of the
world’s best dirt jumpers), Kenny Belaey from Belgium (trial
biker world leader), the Athertons or Richie Schley (the
Godfather of freeride): They all swear by Continental products
"Handmade in Germany" from the Korbach plant. With their
enthusiasm, eagerness to succeed and their high demands,
they inspire our engineers to develop technological
innovations and improve existing products. Next to the
personal capacity and strength of the team, Continental
quality tyres are, after all, the guarantors of success to
achieve top performance and set new records.
