Honda sponsor professional cycling team and give them a Honda Accord Tourer for their kit.
A professional cycling team called Sports Beans-Wilier have recently listed the help for a Honda Accord Tourer for the coming 2009 British season. Specially selected, the team of elite professional cyclists are led by Ben Luckwell who represented Great Britain in the team time trial at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
The handpicked riders will compete in the British Cycling Premier Calendar Series, which covers mainly tough rural routes, normally on circuits repeated to make up a total of up to 100 miles. The Tour Series is to be televised on primetime ITV4 during May and June in the lead-up to their Tour de France coverage.
Look out for their Honda Accord bringing along all the support equipment they need round the race. Its refined 2.2 i-DTEC diesel engine, will be equipped with a cycle rack to carry four of the team's super-light carbon fibre bikes. And the Accord's combined mpg of 47.8mpg will help to keep the teams fuel bills down too.
Sport Beans-Wilier Team rider Will Bjergfelt, who has turned in top-5 placings during the 2008 Premier Series calendar comments,
"I love the look of the car, and it's so smooth to drive," says Will.
"We can fit all our essential kit in the back with room to spare, so it's a perfect team car. In fact, after the season ends, I might just buy it for myself!"

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
