Cervélo SA has been a supporter of Velokhaya since 2005. Phil White and Gérard Vroomen founded Cervélo in 1995 when their design for a new time trial bicycle, built at the request of a professional cyclist, failed to garner interest from traditional bicycle manufacturers. Today, Cervélo is the largest time-trial bike manufacturer in the world. They are recognized internationally as one of the most innovative and fastest growing bike manufacturers the sport has seen in years. In 2009, Cervélo was the first manufacturer in forty years to start its own professional cycling team, at the highest level of the sport – Cervélo TestTeam, which surprised everyone by finishing 7th in the World Team Ranking in its first year.
