Kelli Emmett Wins at Sea Otter!

Big congratulations to our mountain biker Kelli Emmett who finished first in the pro women's cross country race this weekend!

Champion racer and accomplished athlete, Kelli Emmett flaunted the color of Giant for Women this past week at Sea Otter, a major kickoff event for the season. The usual Giant Mountain Bike Team blue was replaced by a brighter seafoam color to distance her from the guys on the team as well as the women in the pack.

“Sea Otter is just the perfect place to do something different and fun,” Emmett says. “I am really happy about representing the Giant for Women program and setting us apart.” Making a statement on the course is nothing new for Kelli, who currently holds the Single Speed World Champion title. The 2008 race season has already heated up for Kelli with a first place finish in cross country and third place finishes in short track, defending and Super D.

The introduction of the new kit and bikes gives a quick preview of what’s to come in the Giant for Women 2009 bike lineup, so stay tuned!
