Frank Pipp joins Team Bissell

Frank Pipp, most recently with the HealthNet-Maxxis team, has joined the Bissell Pro Cycling Team for 2009, bringing the Bissell roster up to 16 riders.

Team manager Glen Mitchell said Pipp adds some sprint speed to the team, which already is known for its strong time trialing and climbing.

“Frank is a proven performer and will be a great asset for Bissell,” Mitchell said.  “He definitely brings another dimension for the team to utilize. In the final kilometers of races, he will be a key rider, whether setting up another team member or utilizing his own fast sprint.”
 
Pipp, a native of Iron Mountain, Michigan, rejoins the Michigan-based team where he started his professional career in 2005.  At that time, the team was known as Advantage Benefits-Endeavor.
