2016 MERIDA TEAM CST
19 years in cycling sport
INTRODUCTION
TO OUR RESPECTED TITLE SPONSOR,
I would like to express my gratitude for your provided background during the last season. This certainty needed for our sportsmen to reach the best achievements through the years and help to maintain our position in the Hungarian bicycle sports. In 2015 the team kept the position in the inland rankings, and henceforward MERIDA TEAM CST racers stood on podiums on all significant Hungarian races. Our two times Marathon Hungary Champion is Brigitta Poór, who ranks: –– on the 9th place in the international ITU cross-country triathlon list in the elite-women category –– on the 4th place in the Europe Championship –– and 3rd in the professional-category of XTerra World Championship in 2014 –– she was XTERRA European Tour overall Silver medalist in 2015. Most often the Vas juniors stood on the podium (Kata Blanka Vas, Barni Vas and Balázs Vas) followed by the adults: László Záray, József Kis, Péter Vas, András Kovács, Sándor Adorján, Zoltán Misku and Tádé Lakatos, contributing to the collection of medals.
THE BOARD OF MEDALS: 2014: 25 gold, 31 silver, 14 bronze 2015: 22 gold, 8 silver and 11 bronze. 2016: 11 gold, 16 silver, 12 bronze (until june)

CST ON OUR BIKES
OUR REVIEW OF CST TIRES APPEARS IN THE 2016 BIKEFUN CATALOGUE AS THE FOLLOWING:
MERIDA MARATON TEAM CST The team’s title sponsor - the giant tire producing corporation – contributed vastly in the competitors’ preparations with the ever-so-successful CULTIVATOR (available from the CST 2014. offers) which has proved its great attributes in the cyclo-cross races. In off-road conditions our favourites are the DOLPHIN, JACK RABBIT and CRITTER types and we are anticipating the new BLACK JACK, B-FAST, BEATER and GRIPPER patterned 27,5” and 29” sized outer rubbers. On the highway the CORRERE proved to be continuously unbeatable. Many of us have CST outers for everyday use, since the products convinced their customers with their endurance and levels of safety (puncture-proof, light reflective frame on the rubber’s sides).
