Cervelo is one of triathlon’s most iconic -and loved - brands, and this week we have a fantastic interview for all you bike geeks out there - an interview with one of Cervelo’s founders, Phil White, and Anna Dopico, who’s commercial banking and project management background brought expertise to Cervélo.
We hear the whole story, from designing the first Cervelo prototype as a college project in their basement, through growing the company one bike at a time, often selling bikes from the back of their car at expos in the early days, through the design of the iconic P2, P3, P4, P5 and P5X.
Anna has written up the story of the company into an amazing coffee table book, ‘To Make Athletes Faster’ - and we have a copy to give away to our listeners! To be in with a chance to win, simply leave a review of the podcast on iTunes, and post a screenshot of your review to the thread in the OATC facebook group - and you get entered into a prize draw ! Simple! We’re aiming for 200 5* reviews by the end of January, when the prize draw will take place. Can you help us get there, and be in with a chance to win this amazing book too?!
