New GP sponsor











We're pleased to announce that The Immigrant's Son espresso is an official supporter of the GP. The Immigrant's Son espresso is a small boutique coffee roastery located at 10 Elizabeth Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington.

The roastery was founded by Andrew Meo (Slim) back in 2005. Andrew worked closely with head roaster James Gurr to produce some of the finest and freshest espresso available.

The Immigrant's Son espresso joins established sponsors Capital Cycles, Rocket Espresso Milano and Ricoh.

In other news, Joe Cooper is about to start the Tour of Southland, followed very closely by the Tour of Hainan in China. On the day the Tour of Southland finishes, Joe will board a flight to China and then start the 9 day Tour of Hainan, the day after landing. Just as well Joe stocked up on his favourite Immigrant's Son espresso blend (Rituale) to see him through! All the best Joe.

As the racing season kicks into top gear here in New Zealand, it's come to a close on the other side of the world. Slim's latest report covers his season racing for Team Lemer in the good land.
