Albabici, Selle SMP and Hibros Sport are pleased to announce their sponsorship of Team Metro Volkswagon (FCS Cycling).  FCS stands for the Foundation for the Cultivation of Sport. Based in the Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) Metroplex, the Metro Volkswagen Cycling Club is open to all members of the local community, and to cyclists and cycling enthusiasts outside of the DFW area.

In its second year with title sponsor Metro Volkswagen, the FCS Cycling Team is progressing toward its goal of becoming one of the top teams in the US.

The women's program for 2009 will include talented U23 Women as well as junior rider Coryn Rivera (who has won 20 Junior National titles). The Metro women will be working closely with Jim Miller and USA Cycling's Women's development program in Europe. In conjunction with USA Cycling, Metro will be sending riders to race in Europe at the highest level of competition, in hopes of developing future World and Olympic Champions.

On the Men's side, the team will be headed-up by Christian Helmg, winner of Hotter then Hell 100. Also added to the program for 2009 will be Switzerland's Benjamin Baumgartner, who is currently competing in Tour of Hainan, and Brad Armstrong who in 2007 rode for Orbea Spain, and in 2008 rode in Europe with the US National Development Team.

Albabici provides the team with Hibros Sport products, such as PreSport Warming Oil (Medium), AfterSport Defatiguing Oils and Creams, and Sport Saddle Cream.  The team is also supported with Selle SMP products such as the Evolution Lady (White), Evolution (Black), Stratos (Black), and the Composit (White) saddles.
