The team known for many, many years as Aker - MOT, mixes it up for the 2026 season.
We're very happy and proud to announce AB InBev, Anheuser-Busch InBev, as our new main sponsor, together with Aker, whom has been with us since the very start back in 2012, says team manager ember.
AB InBev is within the MG universe seen as a surprise sponsor for the Norwegian team. Team manager ember is visibly proud to have the Belgian company is the largest brewer in the world, holding a global market share of almost 30 percent.
Their headquarter is in Leuven in Belgium. The city is also the municipality of the Flemish Brabant, Vlaams-Brabant, region.
What is not to like? I'm thrilled to have them join and believe in our project. After being formerly known as a first and foremost Norwegian team, we have been looking for an international sponsor for years to try to give ourselves a new team identity and a new project to build. With Aker and AB InBev as our main sponsors, we have an amazing base to build on, and it will be no secret we will try to build a stronger Belgium and Benelux base in our team. Admittedly, AB InBev are also excited to see De Lie in the team, as one of the most exciting talents for the future. It goes without saying we will try our best to make him one of the world's best riders in the future, says team manager ember.
It goes without saying the team will be presented in a new jersey when the time is right. Having the brilliant jersey maker Jakstar doing the work, the team's headquarter is very excited to see the final jersey when it's ready.
More competition not only in brewing superiority but also in Belgium?!
It's like our Romo / Faglum Karlsson swap meant nothing to you!
No but seriously, I'd probably do the same with an absolute beast like De Lie coming through the youth system, so I'm sure we'll be coming across each other in transfers
