Oakley – Cycling

When it comes to cycling Oakley really is the top gear. Performance, technology & fashion are a priority for Oakley and as a result Oakley produce some of the best sports performance sunglasses in the world. With over three decades of experience and innovation, Oakley have engineered some of the best cycling sunglasses in the world.

World class competitors such as the legendary professional road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong, winner of the Tour de France, Mark Cavendish  winner of the final stage of the 2011 Tour de France and

Tri-athlete Craig Alexander, the current Ironman Triathlon World Champion and a previous winner of the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in 2006. They demand the excellent protection and high performance provided by Oakley’s products.
If you want the best of the best, it’s got to be the Oakley Fast Jacket or Oakley Jawbone. The sunglasses have a hinge at the side which open to allow interchange of lenses. It is of course  all Oakley technology and new age style. They may look a little crazy, but they deliver technology and comfort. Only Oakley would dare to create such a hi-tech work of art.

Fränk began his professional career in 2003 with Riis and Team CSC (which would later become Team Saxo Bank). His breakout season came in 2005, the same year his younger bother Andy joined the team. That year the Schleck brothers split the national championships, with Fränk winning the road race and Andy winning the time trial. Fränk finished the season strong with three podium places in the last month to end the season ranked 13th on the 2005 ProTour riders list.

Fränk’s greatest achievements include winning a blue riband mountain stage in the 2006 Tour de France which finished on the Alpe d’Huez, the 2006 edition of the Amstel Gold Race classic, and an alpine stage of the 2009 Tour de France, finishing in the sole company of his brother Andy and Alberto Contador.

In 2010, while riding Stage 3 of the Tour de France, Schleck suffered a triple fracture of his clavicle and was forced to retire from the race.

Frank and younger brother Andy Schleck (also an Oakley rider) departed Team Saxo Bank at the end of 2010 to join a new Luxembourg team called Leopard Trek
