Fabian Cancellara on Zipp wheels is fastest in TT
 The latest feat of CSC rider Fabian Cancellara, winning the Swiss National TT championship on 06/24/07 for the 4th consecutive year and 5 times in all, makes him a hot favorite for the Tour de France Prolog and for TTs during the tour itself. Winning in his home town of Bern, 20 seconds ahead of Andreas Klöden, captain of the Astana pro team, was indeed a happy moment for Fabian who made a boyhood dream come true.

Zipp's ZEDTECH8 fastest wheel tested by Tour Magazine
 This article (in German) from the latest issue of Tour Magazine establishes the dominance of Zipp 808 (82mm) wheels as the fastest wheel tested in the wind tunnel.
Recent wins have proved Zipp's wheels are being ridden to victory in the Pro Tour and by individual triathletes all over the world. Juan-Jose Haedo won the Commerce Bank Philadelphia International Championship (06/10/2007) in a record 5 hours 45 minutes and 51 seconds with Matthew Goss also of CSC in second place.
It is not just tubular carbon wheels that are in the spotlight - TJ Tollaksen won the Eagleman 70.3 tri on a Zipp clincher 999 set, making up time, his 2:02:45 split placed him just under nine minutes in front of Cunningham during the bike leg and had him pulling away from the field.
Riding ZedTech 999's and the Vuka aerobar, Dave Thompson finished two for two in the new new Tri One o One series at Clear Lake just under 4 minutes ahead of Jordan Rapp. He clearly made his break during the bike split.

World Champion Scooter Racer Rolls a Zipp 404
Indianapolis, IN resident Gary Schmitt is not your typical Zipp customer. Rather than peddling his way to victory, Schmitt, 54, kicks his way to victory. That's right, Gary Schmitt is a world champion scooter racer.
He won two gold medals in the over-45 masters division at 1,200 meters and a
marathon of over 1 hour and 37 minutes in Finland last August. Click here to watch a short video of Gary on his scooter fully equipped with a Zipp 404 front wheel.
