Tim Johnson, US pro cycling star, and husband to Olympic cyclist and pro cyclocross champion Lyne Bessette, took time off from pre-season training to pick up the keys to a brand new 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup truck outfitted and provided by LEER, the nation’s leading manufacturer of fiberglass truck caps and tonneaus, in support of Tim and Lyne’s 2007-08 cyclocross campaign across the US and Canada.
Building and outfitting the Tundra was spearheaded by LEER, and involved the cooperation of leading truck accessory suppliers like Thule; provider of gear rack systems and accessories, and a Thule support trailer, Yokohama; tire supplier, Niche Wheels; builder of custom chrome wheels, Precision Grille; maker of custom vehicle grilles, Wise Industries; supplier of BedRug cargo box liners, Westin Automotive; supplier of step bars and other bolt-on accessories; and Ready-Lift, provider of custom 4WD lift kits and suspension technology. Shlomo Fatal of The Sketch Farm provided the race-theme graphics.
Johnson, who captains US Cycling’s most successful domestic road racing team, HealthNet Maxxis, will be traveling in the new Team LEER Tundra with his wife Lyne Bessette throughout road-racing’s off season to take part in some twenty UCI-sanctioned cyclocross races, and LEER will document their season online at www.teamleer.com.
