O'Deas sign with Topeak

Cyclingnews' diarists' Eddie & Namrita O'Dea signed with the Topeak-Ergon team for 2009. The pair previously raced for Vassago Cycles, before the company dropped its sponsorship late in the 2008 season.

"We will make up two of the team's six racers in the US. Topeak-Ergon has some incredible athletes, and this team really defines 'class'," said the excited duo in a recent diary entry. With the change, long-time singlespeed racer Namrita will return to racing with gears and suspension.
