On Friday, after months of negotiations, Cervélo founders and owners Phil White and Gerard Vroomen sold their 16-year old company to Pon Holdings , the Dutch company that also owns Germany’s Derby Cycle and the Holland’s Gazelle. Soon after the deal was made final, White spoke with BRAIN web editor Steve Frothingham over the phone from Toronto. White discussed the origins of the purchase, what he’s expecting with the company’s new owners and some of the history of Cervélo, including its involvement with pro cycling with its own Cervélo TestTeam and the Garmin-Cervelo squad.
