Thule, the world’s largest manufacturer of car roof rack systems, roof boxes and accessories, has announced their continued sponsorship for 2007 of Coventry based cycling team MI Racing (Mick Ives Racing), one of the UK’s most successful Cycle race teams.

During the 2006 season the successful partnership saw Team MI Racing win over 150 open events all over the UK and Europe.

New riders signed to the team for the 2007 season include, Lady Time Trial star, Avril Swan from St. Ives.
