Specialized Signs Quick Step

Later today an announcement will be made that Specialized has signed on to supply the ProTour Quick Step team with bikes, beginning next year. The deal will likely include other Specialized equipment and is a multi-year agreement. Up until now Quick Step has used Time bikes. This agreement puts Specialized on one of the biggest teams in the ProTour, with both new world champion Paolo Bettini and last year's world champion Tom Boonen now riding Specialized bikes. Specialized will also continue its agreement with the Gerolsteiner team.
