TechSpec Gripster Grip Pads, the leading tank grip solution for powersports enthusiasts, is also proud to announce that it has found a new home on the gas tanks of some of the most exciting and talented male and female racers in Canada.

The new leanangle.ca website will be the home to TechSpec (Canada) Gripster Grip Pads and will provide consumers with the most current information about fresh product developments, its growing network of Canadian dealers and for further convenience, it will also offer direct purchasing via an online store.

The new leanangle.ca website will also be a great source for road racing fans to keep up-to-date on TechSpec's roster of Canadian road racers.

TechSpec Canada is proud to welcome top Canadian road racer Andrew Nelson, who competes on board a BMW S1000RR in this year's Parts Canada Superbike Championship. Nelson made an impressive debut this season with an eighth place finish during the opening round at the Circuit ICAR near Montreal. The Kars, ON-based rider continued his impressive efforts with a fifth place in Round 2 at Race City Motorsports Park, Calgary, and a fourth place finish in Round 3 at the same track.

Returning for 2010 is Roxanne Gravelle, who will be competing primarily in the Pro Honda Oils Women's Cup Challenge series, as well as select rounds of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship in the Amateur Sportbike class. She will also compete in select events of the RACE Regional SuperSeries held at Shannonville, ON.

"We are very pleased to have Roxanne return for the 2010 racing season. She is consistently fighting for good positions on the track and is always a superb ambassador to the sport off the track," said Steve Reed, President of Lean Angle.

Last year's Honda CBR125R Challenge Champion Steven Nickerson has also joined the TechSpec team for 2010. Nickerson will pilot a Honda CBR600RR in the Amateur Sport Bike division of the 2010 Parts Canada Superbike Championship. This summer he has already achieved a seventh at Circuit ICAR and a 10th and a sixth place finish at the recent doubleheader race held at Calgary's Race City Motorsports Park.

Geneviève (Gigi) Lesieur, Martin Ricard, Lee Kuhn Jr. and Johnny Spinelli complete the TechSpec team roster for 2010. Lesieur competes as a Pro in the National Pro Sport Bike class and as an Expert in the Pro Honda Oils Women's Cup Challenge series.

Regional ace Spinelli will compete in both the SOAR Racing Series Novice 600 Championship and in the RACE SuperSeries Amateur 600 Championship.
