Rumors have been flying around the internet for several days now and today Scott USA confirmed that they signed the 2 x Ironman World Champion Normann Stadler to race on their bikes and ride and run in their shoes.
The enigmatic German triathlete Normann Stadler is well known for his bike prowess and many people believe that he was pretty much responsible for putting the Kuota bike brand on the triathlon planet. But at the upcoming Ironman Frankfurt in Germany, he'll no longer be racing on the Kuota Kueen K, but the recently introduced Scott Plasma 2. Scott USA further announced that he'll be also wearing their cycling and running shoes.
After the sighting of Normann Stadler's logo covered bike a corresponding Slowtwitch forum thread had been riddled with guesses as to who might be the next bike sponsor. Stadler himself added a few comments to the thread and stirred the rumor mill even further.
But Normann Stadler is no longer ambiguous. The new partnership and collaboration with Scott was an important move and will be a huge motivation for the upcoming season, said Stadler.
