Team SD Worx: main sponsorship of top women's cycling team takes shape

2021 was the first year for SD Worx as main sponsor of the world's best women's cycling team. Despite the difficult conditions due to Covid measures, the riders put in a top performance with 33 victories.

Gretel Coorevits, PR manager of Team SD Worx: “SD Worx is a European player with world ambitions, and this is reflected in its sponsorship. Team SD Worx is at the top of women's cycling and the team includes riders of ten different nationalities.

There are many similarities between the team and our organisation: we like to take the lead and we value strong teamwork, as well as individual performance. Thanks to the three-year sponsorship, the team has the opportunity to grow sustainably and to make longer-term decisions.”
