With top riders such as world champion Lotte Kopecky, Demi Vollering, Marlen Reusser, Lorena Wiebes and Mischa Bredewold, among others, Team SD Worx - Protime looks optimistically towards the upcoming cycling season. The sponsorship agreements with SD Worx and Protime run until 2026. "We are very happy that Protime has joined the team," indicates team manager, Erwin Janssen. "Women's cycling has developed enormously in recent years and the sport is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. As a result, the budgets will also continue to grow. With SD Worx and Protime, but certainly also Specialized, we have partners who want to grow with us in the coming years so that we can maintain our position at the top of women's cycling."
Gille Sebrechts, CEO Protime: "We already entered as a shirt sponsor last year just before the Tour de France Femmes and saw directly its positive impact. As a result we wanted to continue full steam ahead. At Protime, we have the ambition to become the European leader in our niche market. We encounter the same drive and vision in the team. A clear focus to be European and even world leader, but also a clear focus on women's cycling. As an HR-tech company, we also consider it our duty to have a positive impact on society and also to do our bit on important social topics. By focusing on women's cycling, we already believe that we can have a positive impact."
Kobe Verdonck, CEO of main sponsor SD Worx: "We start our fifth season as sponsor of the world's best women's team in cycling in 2024. In 2021, we became the main sponsor, which of course has a much bigger impact than just your logo on the shorts. As a name sponsor, your brand gets much more visibility wherever the team is at the start. The international environment of cycling helps us perfectly in our ambition to be the leading European supplier in HR solutions. Customers and prospects regularly talk to us about our commitment to further professionalise women's cycling and about giving young talent opportunities to develop as top athletes. It is fantastic that our subsidiary Protime is now also stepping in as a name sponsor. We are looking forward to a successful season."
Team SD Worx - Protime's team presentation will take place on Monday 22 January. :
