Chamois Butt’r Announces Key Sponsorships and New Athletes for 2017

Chamois Butt’r, the ultimate skin lubricant and chamois cream developed to improve skin comfort, is pleased to announce its support and sponsorship of numerous teams and athletes for the 2017 season. New athletes include endurance specialist and 2015 Dirty Kanza 200 winner, Yuri Hauswald and Luxembourgian cross-country mountain bike racer and winner of the 2016 Roc d'Ardenne UCI Mtb Marathon, Sören Nissen.

When in the saddle for 200 miles, comfort comes first, as Yuri Hauswald explains: “When you spend as much time in the saddle as I do training and racing, you want quality products that will help elevate your performance, which is why I’m excited to be partnering with Chamois Butt’r for the 2017 season. I can’t wait for race season to get here!”

Chamois Butt’r is also thrilled to welcome back many returning teams, including long-time Chamois Butt’r sponsored team, Rally Cycling which continues with the current US Criterium National Champion, Brad Huff. According to team member, Jesse Anthony, “Chamois Butt'r has been pleasantly effective in keeping saddle sores and chafing to a minimum. It's a simple method to make riding and racing more comfortable.”

In addition to Rally Cycling, Chamois Butt’r welcomes back both Cylance Cycling and UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling teams to their 2017 family. These teams have relied on Chamois Butt’r products to keep their athletes comfortable when training and racing, allowing them to always perform at their best. “We are excited to work with Chamois Butt'r for all our riding comfort needs. The more comfortable the rider, the more focus can be given to the important task at hand!” said Alison Tetrick of Cylance Pro Cycling team.
