Tuscaloosa, AL – Quintana Roo Bicycles is pleased to announce its sponsorship of professional triathlete Jessica Jacobs. Jacobs turned pro in 2008 and has on two occasions been a top 3 Ironman finisher.

“The first triathlon specific bicycle I ever rode was a Quintana Roo, and needless to say, I am very pleased to get back to one. The geometry fit me perfectly then, and I am sure it will be the same now.”

Jessica will be racing on the CD0.1, and for her group training, she will be on the Seduza. “Quintana Roo is on the cutting edge of innovation in the sport of triathlon, and I am very much looking forward to being a part of the team.” She went on to state the CD0.1 is “the most technologically advanced frameset I have ever seen.”

Chris Hewings, Sales & Marketing Director for ABG, said, “Jessica is a superb triathlete who has put together a string of very impressive results over the past few years.  She’s the perfect match for Quintana Roo, and we are looking forward to her incredible bike splits being improved now that she’ll be riding the QR CD0.1.”

Jessica’s 2010 Calendar will include two marathons, two Rev3 events (Half & Full Distance), as well as Ironman Canada and Kona, pending qualification. Jessica will also race several smaller events as key sessions to assess her fitness.
