After seeing his new jersey for the first time, Mikel Landismosaurus Rex shared his impressions via
press release: "It is a really cool design. The dinosaur face is something very different from anything else in the peloton and I think this is an iconic design that people will remember for a long time. It is a great way to thank Soudal for their support and promote one of the brands that is very important to them, but we have done it in a stylish way and it will catch a lot of attention."
This was added to by Nuno Ribeiro, South Europe Regional Director of Soudal NV, who said: "We are incredibly proud to see La Vuelta begin in the vibrant city of Lisbon. This start in Portugal’s capital is a celebration of the rich culture and the growing importance of this region to both the cycling world and our business. It is also an exciting opportunity for us to highlight our T-Rex brand, which stands for durability, power, and innovation – qualities that align perfectly with the spirit of competitive cycling. The rebranding of the team Soudal - Quick-Step to Team T-Rex Quick-Step reflects Soudal’s strategic focus on promoting T-Rex as a leading brand in the adhesives and sealants market. Known for its exceptional strength and reliability, T-Rex has become a symbol of the company’s commitment to quality and innovation."
