Non is off to a flyer!
Since the last newsletter Wattbike Ambassador Non Stanford has kept up her excellent early season form. Following her win in Portugal on the European Tour, Non took a brilliant second place in San Diego at the ITU World Triathlon Series and followed it up this weekend with her first senior win on the ITU World Triathlon Series in Madrid. Watch the video here.
Non was amongst the leaders after the bike leg and then ran away from the field eventually winning by over 40 seconds. This represented Non's best result on the senior stage and confirms that this season she is really going to be one to watch.
Since San Diego, Non has also won the opening French Grand Prix of 2013 in Dunkerque which set her up for an incredible win in Madrid.
You can keep up with the rising star of British Triathlon by following her on twitter...but of course we'll keep you up to speed too!

Deano's back!
After a quiet 2012 season, Wattbike Ambassador Dean Downing has been on great form so far at the Tour Series this year. Dean sprinted to two second places finishes in Stoke and Torquay and has rarely been out of the top 10.
Dean's new team, Madison-Genesis have caused quite a stir this year, not only with their strong performances but also with the fact they are bucking the trend of riding carbon frames, instead opting for steel!
It's safe to say that Dean and his team mates are more than happy with their new frames, but can steel really rival the super-light carbon frames? If you want to get to a Tour Series event this year, there's still time. Check the website to see if there is a round near you or you can catch Tour Series on ITV4 in the UK.

Over the border
Last month we were at the brand new Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow at the Scottish Bike Show. It was the first time we have taken our roadshow to Scotland and the response was fantastic.
A highlight of the weekend was watching various members Team Wattbike take to the boards for some fun on the velodrome. If you ever have the chance to get on a velodrome, we can all recommend it!
It's sportive season
Here at Wattbike HQ we are well in to our training and I am sure lots of you will be getting ready for one (or many) of the fantastic sportives available in the UK and around the world this summer. If you haven't started your planning yet, it's about time you did!
This year we have partnered with both The Wiggle Etape Cymru and The Wiggle Dragon Ride as the Official Training Partner. To help riders get ready for these tough events, Wattbike Sport Scientist Eddie Fletcher has devised two brand new sportive plans.
