Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert-Matériaux will change their name to Intermarché-Circus-Wanty in 2023 after backing from Circus and Ardent Group.
Circus makes its return after two years of break. It was already the main sponsor of the team before 2020. “This has been a transitional period for the team. We had a smashing season, and that sped up our development, but it’s still against the backdrop of a small budget compared to the other teams, so obviously, we lose riders but the important change for next year is the focus on development,” team director Aike Visbeek told VeloNews.
Director of the Ardent Group, Nicolas Léonard, said “Our company has always contributed to sporting life in our country. The training, the identification of talent and the establishment of an expert and cycling skills centre is an integral part of the philosophy of our company.”
