The Cofidis team is proud to announce a new partnership with the Italian firm De Rosa. A historic brand, associated with some of the greatest exploits in the history of cycling, De Rosa will be a precious ally to live up to the ambitions set in 2020.
THE REACTIONS
Elia VIVIANI: "De Rosa is a historical brand that makes all professional riders dream. When I learned that we were going to work with them, I knew that we would have a very good tool to achieve all the goals we have set ourselves. We have seen how open De Rosa's staff are to working with us, adapting and doing everything to make the best use of it. I like to think that I'm working with the best bike for every race and that's exactly the feeling I got when I discovered this bike.
Christophe LAPORTE: "We are all competitors and we want to have the best possible equipment to shine. Riding with De Rosa bikes is a chance, especially when you know the brand's reputation and the many successes it has had in the past. It will certainly allow us to reach a new level in the UCI World Tour next year.
Guillaume MARTIN: "In the first days of the course we could see that the feedback from all the riders was unanimously positive about the De Rosa bikes. The design is really nice but these bikes are not just that: they are also very efficient and will certainly allow us to make the Cofidis colours shine next season.
Cédric VASSEUR, general manager: "The accession to the UCI World Tour requires us to work with an increasingly competitive bike. De Rosa is a historic brand in cycling and the greatest champions have achieved their exploits on De Rosa bikes. The arrival of Elia Viviani also influenced our choice of partnership. There is the Italian affiliation of course, but above all the joint desire to work with a bike that is ever lighter, ever faster and ever more aerodynamic.
