Patrick Leclerc in the Cinelli Team

Announcement from Cinelli, November 9, 2010:

"Cinelli is pleased to announce today the arrival of Patrick Leclerc in the Cinelli team. Patrick, here photographed at the Cinelli HQ with Antonio Colombo, President, Paolo Erzegovesi, CEO and Fabrizio Aghito, Vice President, will assume the role of Product Manager and be responsible for relationships with all Cinelli’s international manufacturers. We are sure that the addition of an extremely experienced Product Manager such as Patrick with his significant achievements in the sector (outlined below) will only further facilitate the great growth that Cinelli is undergoing at present.

-Patrick has been involved in the bike industry for more than 10 years. He started as a bike mechanic for numbers of years. Then in 1999 worked on the road as technical representative for EGS (Syncro-Shift). He then worked for 3 major Canadian bike companies rising to the position of Pavement Bike Product Manager at Rocky Moutain. Of course he still rides as often as possible between all the trips.-

We are sure that this is the beginning of a long and fortuitous relationship between Patrick and Cinelli and look forward to sharing some great success in the world of innovative cycling."
