POZZOLEONE, Italy (BRAIN) —Fizik has extended its sponsorship of Team Sku by another two seasons, the company announced Tuesday. The Italian saddle brand has worked with Team Sky since 2012, supplying saddles for the whole team. This relationship has seen three Tour titles together – two with Chris Froome and one with Bradley Wiggins – along with a number of other race, stage and jersey wins throughout the WorldTour race calendar.
"We are very pleased to renew our long term partnership with Fizik – they have been our loyal friends over those exciting years since our first victory at the Tour on 2012," said Carsten Jeppesen, the head of technical perations and commercial for Team Sky. "We love the company's approach and attention to detail. They work closely with the team to always be on the leading edge of technological developments, and to accommodate our requirements.
"Over the years we have realized just how important it is for the rider to be comfortable on their bike. This is especially true for a pro rider of course, who spends so many hours on the bike."
"We are delighted to extend our partnership with Team Sky for another two years,"says NicolòIldos, Fizik's racing manager. "It's important to us to work closely together to know we continue to create the best saddles for the team, and understand exactly what works for them.
"Our success together is a great source of pride and inspiration, not just the Grand Tour victories and podiums, but the great performances at the Classics, many other stage races, and the incredible feats by Team Sky's riders past and present at World and National Championships, at Olympic level and in record-breaking rides."
