World Cycling Centre & SCOTT Sports Agree Partnership

The World Cycling Centre (WCC) has agreed a deal with international sporting goods company SCOTT Sports SA for the supply of bike frames for the centre’s road and mountain bike trainees.

The new deal runs until 2016 and all WCC road athlete’s will ride SCOTT bikes in training and competition. SCOTT mountain bikes will be used for off-road sessions and will also be available for specialists visiting the WCC.

WCC Director Mr Frédéric Magné added: “The young athletes training at the World Cycling Centre are incredibly talented. Our job is to help them realise their potential, and in order to do this it is important that their equipment be of the highest quality. With SCOTT Sports on board, we know that they are being provided with bikes that are at the cutting edge of technology and innovation. I am delighted that an internationally renowned company is investing in the future of our sport.”

SCOTT Sports Vice president Pascal Ducrot added: “We are delighted to support the World Cycling Centre and the next generation of young athletes. It’s important to sponsor Top Teams with our products, but it is also our obligation to offer support to the next generation. The product feedback from the young talents might be different than what we get from experienced athletes, but this is exactly what we need to improve our products and innovate new ones. WCC athletes will be equipped with exactly the same top class materials as our Pro Teams.”
