Orbea and team Cofidis-Solutions Crédits to join forces for the next two years

2014-10-17

Our love of racing and our ambition to compete in the biggest races worldwide push us through new challenges along with one of the most solid squads in the field.

Orbea and Cofidis-SolutionsCrédits have joined forces for the next two years, but with longer-term ambitions. After the longest cycling sponsorship in the UCI World Tour, Orbea is now coming together with a passionate partner, committed to cycling, with whom we hold many shared values. What’s more, this squad’s capacity for struggle and self-sacrifice matches the cycling philosophy we have upheld since the beginning of competition, over 90 years ago. With this agreement, at Orbea we aim to continue to be a global cycling reference.

2015 marks Orbea’s 175th anniversary. Could there be a better way of celebrating than standing by Cofidis-Solutions Crédits’s side in some of the world’s leading cycling races such as the classic events, the Tour de France, the Vuelta a España…

Orbea is ever-present in cycling competition, working with teams in every category: Team Novo Nordisk, Fundación Euskadi, the US-based women’s team FCS, and many others. Our passion for cycling keeps our wave rolling in the cycling tide that never fails to greet sweaty riders.

Developing top-level solutions

Cofidis-Solutions Crédits will have at their disposal all the racing technology of the new Orca for road cycling, the Ordu for time-trialing, and Orbea’s new R10 helmet.

Working closely together with Cofidis-Solutions Crédits, will be able to follow up riders’ needs more closely, develop specific bikes for winning mountain stages, sprints or classic races, and plan our future work on road bikes, time-trial bicycles and helmets.

The members of the team will become an invaluable test bench for our new models and future technical developments. It is our goal to develop top-level products, which we can best achieve by testing in the heat of competition, before we bring our developments to road lovers at large.

Cofidis-Solutions Crédits are a renowned, well-established team, competing in all the grand tours on the international calendar. The visibility of our brand in these races will help us consolidate our position in strategic markets and will offer a face and a voice to cycling enthusiasts all over the world.

See you in road cycling races in 2015!
