KV RACE TEAM
Kiwivelo Race Team
Team Kiwivelo is a group of riders that Scott and Vanessa have identified to have potential. Kiwivelo offer these riders support and advice where they can and have a goal of helping to develop these riders into NZ's elite. Our best success stories are the career advancements of Tim Gudsell and Pete Latham. We started supporting these boys when they were baby faced first year seniors. Now at the age of 24, Tim is riding for his second year in FDJ a French-based first division Pro Tour Team. Pete is making a strong comeback after breaking his back in a crash at the end of last years season with our highlight being him smashing the field to win our home town Takapuna GP Criterium in February 2008. Pete is racing for a French Amateur team which is the feeder team for AG2R Pro Team. Both boys have represented NZ at the Athens Olympics and the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
We like to think our support and advice played a role in their success!
