As you can read above, Benelux was included due to well-known staff from these regions - Andy Schleck, A. van der Poel...
Thank you Andy for everything!

Regional Focus

i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a413/BlackAkinfenwa27/Vote_Regions_zps9b840e2f.jpg

Your decisions are done, in addition to BeNeLux, Germany and Scandinavia we will focus on the Czech Republic and Slovakia . Furthermore we will have an eye on the Baltic States and Switzerland .

i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a413/BlackAkinfenwa27/sponsor_map_new_zps6998888a.jpg

According to that the search for sponsors and the rider-focus has been edited. Our management flew out to negotiate contracts with sponsors and riders.

Andy -->
Adrie -->
Jens -->
Thomas -->

World Tour or Continental Tour?

But before we could bargain the contracts with sponsors or riders, we have to make the big decision. Should we participate in the World Tour as the eighteenth Team or have a go in the continental circuit als Pro-Continental Team?
We were in talks with the UCI; they think we could achieve all criteria to become a World Tour team. That might be one of the points why Europcar had to go down to a PCT team. Potential sponsors would love to see us in the World Tour, competing on all the big events, but maybe a start-up as an ambitious PCT team would help us either. However, it´s your decision how we go on.

Your Task

Choose if we want to start the team either in the World Tour as a World Tour Team or in the Continental Tour as a Pro-Continental Team.

Voted World Tour - a team with names like Schleck, Voigt and van der Poel belongs nowhere else. Grin
I guess the first two signings are more or less confirmed, too. Pfft

Voted PCT, as it would be nice to see the team grow into the WorldTour.

However, with the correct riders, WT would be nice Smile

CT or WT?

This question will be not answered yet, due to the fact that the votes for both ways of the project are pretty equal.

i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a413/BlackAkinfenwa27/Vote_Tour_1_zps1efd9087.jpg

So we have the Feedback Corner a little earlier in this post, where the two controversal main opinions are shown.

Voted World Tour - a team with names like Schleck, Voigt and van der Poel belongs nowhere else. :D


Voted PCT, as it would be nice to see the team grow into the WorldTour.


There will be time to vote on until we discussed about riders. At the end of that discussion we will see if our team fits better in the World or Continental-Tour.


Sponsors - Team Announcement

The last days our management was on an intense tour through our sponsors regions. We achieved some deals, which we are proud to present you now.

Main Sponsor - Leopard SA

The main sponsor will be the Leopard SA from Luxembourg . They have an experience in cycling as they were main sponsors of the Leopard-Trek team in 2011. Andy and Jens rode for them at this time, so they had a background together with the sponsor.
Leopard SA also sponsors the Leopard Developement Team since 2012.
In the company there were a lot of changes. Flavio Becca sold the company, a new anonymous investement group achieved the Leopard SA as a bargain. Today they are sponsoring many luxembourgian sport projects.
After a long talk about our future plans, where Jens joined Andy to carry on negotiations with Leopard SA. Our project, containing plans of developing ourselves and presenting the Leopard SA, persuaded their management to sign a sponsoring contract with us. Now we are proud to be one of of the sporting projects supported by Leopard SA.
The logo might get changed due to the new structure of Leopard SA.

Additional Sponsors

As we have the vision of a long-lasting future of the team the minimum length of contracts with additional sponsors is 3 years for us. We want to present you which companies finally decided to sign contracts with us.

Evonik Industries

Evonik Industries is a speciality chemicals company. Sitting in Germany Evonik is the main sponsor of the german football team Borussia Dortmund. Our region targets fits very well to them, as they mainly operate in Germany and the BeNeLux countries. Their tight sposnorship impressed us as well as our future plans impressed them.

www.jcf-muenster.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Evonik3.jpg

Skoda

The czech automobile manufacturer is well known in the cycling business. Sponsoring the Tour de France and many other races the Skoda cars and banners are the most seen ones from any company out of this industry in cycling.
They signed with use a nice deal, with a nice budget extension if we will start in the World Tour.

filmfest-weiterstadt.de/en/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Skoda_Landscape_CMYK_Coated_300mm.jpg


spox.com

Another german sponsor will be spox.com. They are a big sports site, only appearing in the web. They want to increase their amount of reporting cycling a lot, since Alpecin and Bora from Germany joined high-quality cycling. We see a chance to increase our popularity on the rising market internet a lot by this move. Their intuition is to increase their popularity in Germany, especially because the Tour will be in public german tv 2015 again.

More Additional Sponsoring

Some sponsors for our jerseys and especially an outfitter is still missing. Therefore we need suggestions from you. It would be nice if they would fit in our regions as well. There will be a poll about who should sponsor us containing all your guesses.

Your task

Suggest sponsors for our team!
Write if they should be additional sponsors or outfitters.

The vote for the racing division is still open!

I like the sponsors! Smile

There have to be one more sponsor 100% sure - it's Trek, as Jens and Andy both have great relationships with them! And with Trek there goes Bontrager, so I think it's quite clear in the equipment task Cool

Dammit 18 hours and I missed sponsors? I think we should have a dual name f.e. Leopard-Evonik, Evonik-Leopard, Leopard-Skoda.
And PCT is way more fun, especially to watch us evolve and get better, though it should be a great team with these names on board.

The sponsors were set, you can suggest co sponsors though. Wink
 
jandal7
Ok, Trek and Bontrager should be givens, but I don't want that. So BMC (Swiss) for bike and DR Swiss (Swiss) or Lightweight (German) for wheels. Nordea (Nordic Bank) IKEA (Swedish-Dutch) and Spotify (Swedish-British). Trillink (Baltic shipping company) and Tissot (Swiss). Xero (NZ, but now has spread to the UK and US) is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world, and would have the programming for our financing sorted. Also You didn't give me a chance to say NZ in the vote :lol:. I'm serious about all of these though.

I don't want to say Trek or Bontanger, because it will be too much like RadioShack-Leopard-Trek / Leopard Team from old...

BMC for Bike -
Lightweight / DT Swiss for Wheels - /
Lazer for Helmet -
Bioracer for Clothing -

That covers the areas that the team will be targeting Smile

I see your point, but there is really big relationship between them and Trek of course...

anyway, another ideas, Focus for the bikes with Lightweight for wheels. Smile Lazer helmets sounds good for me, I like them
