Orca has secured the sponsorship of brothers Andreas and Michael Raelert – two of the world’s most successful triathletes.
The German duo join the Orca and Orbea team on three-year wetsuit, apparel and bike contracts.
Both had a very successful 2010 season, with Michael taking out his second 70.3 world championship and Andreas winning the European Ironman Championship.
“It’s a fantastic result to get two of arguably the world’s best male triathletes wearing Orca,” says Jon Coloma, global brand manager of Orca.
“Over the years we’ve been involved with a number of world champions in all disciplines of triathlon, and adding the Raelert brothers to our current team of long distance world champions is really exciting.
“As strong swimmers, the Raelert brothers take their wetsuit needs seriously and so Orca wetsuits are an obvious fit.”
Orca sponsored athletes include Craig Alexander, Chris McCormack, Courtney Atkinson, Emma Moffat, Jodie Stimpson and Vicky Holland.
The new Orca summer range will be launched in February 2012 and includes triathlon wetsuits and apparel, compression wear, swimwear, goggles and accessories.
