  • Ron 

The logo of Belgium’s No. 1 company in casino games and sports betting, Napoleon Sports and Casino, will appear on the jersey of Deceuninck – Quick-Step in 2020. “The Wolfpack” got 68 wins in 2019 and finished top of the team rankings of the UCI World Tour for the second consecutive year.

Napoleon Sports and Casino is the leading Belgian online betting platform, operating from Erembodegem (Aalst). It is fully licensed through the Belgian Commission and provides customers a safe environment to play.

“We are delighted with this partnership. It was written in the stars that we, both being ambitious Belgian organisations, would join forces”, Deceuninck – Quick-Step CEO Patrick Lefevere said.

“We share an indescribable big passion for sports. We both aim for results, without losing track of the thrill factor in everything we do to entertain people. Just like the Wolfpack, our customers enjoy the thrill and the feeling of winning”, Napoleon Sports & Casino CEO online Francesco Postiglione reacted.

“We welcome Napoleon Sports & Casino to our family and are grateful for their support”, Patrick Lefevere said. “Their support will strengthen our position and help us develop our team even further.”

No more cycling odds on Napoleon-platform

“As an official sponsor of a World Tour-team, all cycling odds will be removed from our platform from 1/1/2020. This is in accordance with the UCI regulations. We do everything we can to provide the fans of casino games and sports betting a safe environment to play, with respect for the integrity of sport.”

New Kit

The new kit, designed and manufactured by Deceuninck – Quick-Step’s long-time partner Vermarc consists of the team’s traditional blue and white colours – with the latter more prominent next season – while also incorporating the Wolfpack logo in an artistic way on the front.

One of the squad’s top performers in 2019 – winner of five races, including the European ITT Championships and Clasica San Sebastian – Remco Evenepoel is excited about the new kit: “It’s very different to what the team had in the past years, but it’s really nice. When I first saw it, I just knew it was going to be a cool kit. The white and blue combination is beautiful and I’m sure it will stand out from the peloton. The wolf on the chest is also great and the sponsors fit in perfectly. I can’t wait to wear it in my first race and I’m sure also our fans will love it. A big thanks to Vermarc and the team for creating such an amazing and elegant kit!”

As well as the regular kit – which will be available in January in the Deceuninck – Quick-Step webshop – several riders will go into the new season wearing the National Champion colours: Kasper Asgreen (ITT), Sam Bennett, Ian Garrison (ITT), Fabio Jakobsen, Bob Jungels and Michael Mørkøv.
