In our minds they produce the very best cleaning and maintenance products available so it’s great to have them on board. Keeping our equipment clean and well maintained is an integral part of bike racing and, as with all of our suppliers, we will work closely with them to help develop their range in the future.”

As a business which thrives on research, development and innovation we have found a perfect fit with Team Sky. To work with a team that is willing to invest so much time and energy into developing new technologies is very exciting, innovation is truly at the core of every part of their operation, I personally find this fascinating to be a part of and no doubt there are some real performance gains to be found together.
