With this partnership we not only put Xstra positively on the map, but we, as shareholders, together with the team management, also make an attempt to introduce a new financial structure into cycling. By creating broad financial support, we make the business model behind a cycling team healthier and future-proof.”

Developing and winning

Team manager Eric van den Boom is happy with the entry of partner Xstra. “We are one of the longest active teams in professional women’s cycling and in all those years we have made a great contribution to professionalizing our sport. With the new, additional partnership we build on our heritage and above all we are very much focused on the future. It is our goal to grow to the absolute world top, and to do so in our own, recognizable way that fits the past of our team. Developing cycling talents and being successful together in the most important races. That is what it is all about.”
