Factor + AusCycling track bike launch – Rob Gitelis interview, details about USD$59,999 pursuit bike
The Australian Cycling Team has a new partner in Factor Bikes. The collaboration was formally announced at the Tour Down Under of 2024 but it has been years in the making. RIDE Media caught up with the founder and owner of Factor, Rob Gitelis, shortly before he flew out of Adelaide after a busy week at a bike race – with Factor also claiming victory in #TDU2024, thanks to Stevie Williams.
We spoke about the track bike – or, rather, a pursuit bike that will be part of Australia’s cycling campaign for the Paris Olympics.
This is part of a series of videos from #TDU2024.
Interview recorded on 19 January 2024, a day after the Australian Cycling Team’s pursuit bike by Factor was unveiled in Adelaide.
