Cofidis continues as important sponsor of Vuelta a Espana for two more years

Cofidis and La Vuelta a Espana will continue their cooperation for another two years, in one of the longest-standing sponsorships in the history of Spanish sports. The agreement was signed on the 25th of August, during the ninth stage of La Vuelta 24, in a meeting between Luc-Bertrand Salus, General Director of Cofidis Spain, and Javier Guillén, General Director of La Vuelta.

The French financial institution and the Spanish tour thus consolidate a relationship that began in 2010 with the shared values of hard work, commitment and self-improvement.

"For us, our connection to La Vuelta, one of the most important sporting events in the world, is a great source of pride, because Cofidis has historically been closely linked to cycling, as we share many of the same values," explains Luc-Bertrand Salus.

"The stage winner prize can only be sponsored by a winning brand, like Cofidis. We continue to make history with a brand that is so inextricably linked to cycling, and with whom we share such values as commitment, sacrifice, self-improvement and teamwork," added Javier Guillén.

Cofidis is not only closely linked to La Vuelta as one of its longest-standing sponsors, but also gives its name to one of the oldest teams in the international peloton since 1996. The French financial institution also continues to collaborate with the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation and promotes the Equipo Cofidis de Promesas Paralímpicas del Ciclismo (Cofidis Paralympic Cycling Rising Star Team) along with the Spanish Paralympic Committee.
