Highly renowned equipment supplier BMC Switzerland will join the AG2R CITROËN TEAM beginning in 2021.
For decades, BMC bikes have met the highest standards in terms of quality, design, and production. The goal of this partnership is to combine high-end products that strive for excellence, with a competitive team capable of shining at the highest level. The Swiss brand will supply the team through 2023. The riders will use two road bikes: the Teammachine SLR01 and the Timemachine Road, as well as the Timemachine for time trials.
“We share the same high values,” said Ag2r Citroen General Manager Vincent Lavenu. “We are happy to welcome BMC as our bicycle partner. This internationally renowned Swiss brand has extensive experience in the professional peloton and offers very high-end bikes. As it is a brand located close to our headquarters and shares our same high values, we are convinced that BMC will be an excellent partner in our efforts to achieve our sporting ambitions. Their commitment to our team for a period of 3 years is a great mark of confidence. We look forward to integrating BMC into this new chapter of the AG2R CITROËN TEAM.”
“We are delighted to be associated with the great project of the AG2R CITROËN TEAM,” said BMC Switzerland CEO David Zurcher. “Competition is a strong part of BMC’s DNA and we have been keen to strengthen our presence at the highest level of road cycling. We share a common vision of cycling and an ambitious sporting project, which quickly led us to visualize a shared future with Vincent Lavenu’s team.”
