POC sign three-year kit partnership with Cannondale-Drapac

POC and Slipstream Sports are proud to announce an expanded partnership for the next three years

The partnership will extend the current successful helmet and eyewear partnership and see all Cannondale-Drapac team riders in POC jerseys, shorts, socks, helmets and eyewear starting Jan. 1.
 
POC, a leading manufacturer of helmets, eyewear, body armor, apparel, and accessories was founded in 2005 in Sweden, with a strong mission “to do the best we can to possibly save lives and to reduce the consequences of accidents for gravity sports athletes and cyclists.”
 
Oscar Huss, Head of Product Development, POC said: “We are excited about the future and our continued partnership with the Cannondale-Drapac Pro Cycling Team, especially as our experiences since 2014 have been very positive. The team is packed full of cycling talent and we are really looking forward to supporting and helping them fulfil their on and off bikes objectives over the next three years. Likewise, as the team operates in a unique, high-performance environment we are constantly able to refine our equipment, ensuring that our products and the riders excel at the very highest level. Naturally the experience and feedback we gain is an important tool which allows us to continually improve, innovate and refine our award winning products and support our mission.”
 
Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Slipstream Sports and Cannondale-Drapac: “We’ve been partners with POC since the 2014 season and their innovation and support to the team has been critical in many of our achievements. I’m proud to call POC a partner, as they offer performance and quality, understand our needs perfectly and can support our future objectives. In addition, their mission, coupled with our overall approach to rider sustainability, is a true reflection on our goals with Cannondale-Drapac team riders. The emphasis POC puts on performance and safety is important to all of us on the team.”
 
The new 2017 Cannondale-Drapac team kit will be formally unveiled at the Rouleur Classic show in London on Friday Nov. 4, with team riders Ryan Mullen and Davide Formolo in attendance. Cannondale-Drapac head sport director Charly Wegelius will also be on hand at the event.
