TRIATHLON WORLD CHAMPION TERENZO BOZZONE SIGNS WITH FELT

New Zealand's talented 2008 70.3 Ironman Champ chooses Felt for 2010 and
beyond

Irvine, CA (January 11, 2010) - Felt Bicycles is pleased to announce the
addition of 2008 Ironman 70.3 World Champion Terenzo Bozzone to its lineup
of talented Olympic and World Champion triathletes. The 24-year-old New
Zealander will ride Felt bikes, including the DA triathlon bike and AR
aerodynamic road bike, in 2010 and beyond.

"After visiting the company and speaking with Jim Felt and the rest of the
crew, I had no doubt Felt was the place I wanted to be," Bozzone said.
"Felt's track record of producing aerodynamically superior bikes is second
to none, and I'm confident I will be on the best possible bikes and well
looked after."

Bozzone already has dozens of major victories to his name, including the
2008 70.3 Half Ironman World Championship title. Born in South Africa and
raised in New Zealand, Bozzone has seen success at every level of multisport
competition. As a junior athlete, fresh out of high school, he won the Men's
Under-20 Duathlon World Championships in 2001 and 2002, and the Under-20
Men's Triathlon world titles in 2002 and 2003.

In the following years Bozzone chalked up elite category wins at nearly
every major half-Ironman. In 2008, he dominated the Ironman 70.3 series,
winning in Kansas, Idaho and California, before taking the 70.3 world title
in Florida.

"Terenzo is a fantastic talent and we couldn't be more pleased he is
choosing Felt Bicycles to help take him to the next level of his career,"
said Felt company namesake Jim Felt. "He's a proven winner, and the sky is
the limit for this young athlete."

Having conquered 70.3 competition, Bozzone is now turning his attention to
full Ironman-distance competition. His transition to the longer format got
off to a solid start last March when he finished second at his first full
Ironman in New Zealand.

Bozzone competed at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships for the first
time last October and despite suffering badly on the run he finished 11th,
showing great promise. "I am really enjoying competing over the full
distance races and I think I have gained a great deal of experience this
past year," Bozzone said.

For 2010, Bozzone plans to continue competing in key 70.3 events, while also
focusing more on the Ironman events. "My main goals are to get an Ironman
title under my belt and win a couple 70.3 races," he said. "And a top-five
in Kona would top off the year for me. Long term, I aim to be the best
triathlete in the world, and the most recognized triathlon is Kona."

Bozzone joins a talented roster of Felt-sponsored triathletes in 2010
including Australian Michellie Jones and American Tim DeBoom-both two-time
Ironman World Champions-as well as current Olympic champions Emma Snowsill
(Australia) and Jan Frodeno (Germany).

70.3 Half Ironman World Champs recap

The last race of the season has come to a close. It was not the day I was
hoping for but I am glad I made the trip out to Clearwater to compete.

The competition this year was amazing and a lot of the pros brought their A
game. The pace of the swim and the bike would have blown up the competition
every other year but for some reason 40 guys managed to hold on for those
disciplines. Which was spectacular as we were riding at 47km/hr (29miles/hr)
for the 90km bike, and this was not because of the drafting, it was a
relatively clean race but the advantage of riding 10meters apart is still an
advantage, but totally legal. It was not until the run where everyone
started to pay, including me... and pay big time I did!

I tried to make a move with 30km to go on the bike but I guess I had a big
target on my back and was not able to sneak away, apologies to the other 3
(Philip Graves, Fraser Cartmel and Andrew starykowwicz) for getting stuck
with me. They were riding strong and I am sure a break would have lasted
under different circumstances.

I was still in contention for a strong top ten finish with 5km to go. The
mind wanted it but the body just wouldn't respond. I suppose Kona was still
a little in my legs and the lack of quality speed work was not ideal given
the speed of the field.

I eventually groveled home because there were no cars in sight to hitch a
ride with and the spectators and volunteers kept my spirits high. My
position at the end of the day, well, it was worse than I thought it was so
let's not talk about it.

Instead we should talk of Michael Raelert of Germany. His older brother
Andreas finished second to me last year at this events and went on to a 3rd
place finish at Ironman World Championships in Kona this year. Michael had a
great race today which he finished off with a 1:09:05 half marathon run that
gave him a finish time of 3hrs 34min, 6 minutes faster than my world record
last year. Congratulation to you both and everyone else who made it to the
finish today.

Oh well, I have packed my bike and sent it off for a courier, so now it is
vacation time for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks to everyone for all the support over the year. For me it has been
exciting 8 months and would not have been possible without all the help and
support from a large number of people. You all know who you are, so thanks
big time.

Until next time,

Terenzo Bozzone, out!
