Berkeley, CA, May 2002 - GU Sports has signed a deal with the RLX Polo team to be the official gel and drink. They have now become the first pro team to ride with both GU and GU2O. RLX riders will be sporting a new, limited edition water bottle this season with the GU, GU2O and RLX logos. The bottles should start showing up in the riders' cages in May.

Developed by Dr. William Vaughan, GU -- America's original energy gel -- has been an innovative leader in sports nutrition for over a decade. GU Energy Gel improves performance by delivering quick sustained energy while it buffers against fatigue, aids with faster recovery and provides a better athletic experience. In 2001, Sports Street Marketing, the makers of GU Energy Gel, introduced their hydration drink GU2O. GU and GU2O provide athletes the ideal combination of energy and hydration needed to perform their best and recover more quickly.
