Team Wiggins given Swift motorhome as support for their efforts
Swift Group has announced that they will be supporting a cycling team called Team Wiggins by providing them with a motorhome.
The team has been founded by Sir Bradley Wiggins, 34, with the ultimate goal to win gold at the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympic Games. The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), which is the world governing body for the sport of cycling recognised by the International Olympic Committee, has recently approved and issued a licence to the world time trial champion’s new squad.
While Wiggins is still with his current team, Team Sky, he will officially leave on 30 April in order to join his team consisting of Mark Christian, Andy Tennant, Jon Dibben, Owain Doull, Dan Patten, and Chris Lawless in early May.
In recognition of the elite British riders’ dedication, Swift Group decided to join in the support by providing them with a Swift Escape 696. The Swift Escape will be decked out in Team Wiggins colours and the team’s sponsor logos.
The super light motorhome has the perfect layout for the team to relax in before a big race, an ideal environment for private team meetings, and after an exhausting day of cycling the Escape‘s bunks at the rear can become a space for recovery or physiotherapy.
Nick Page, Commercial Director of Swift Group, stated: “It is absolutely brilliant what Sir Bradley Wiggins is setting out to achieve with Team WIGGINS this year leading up to the 2016 Rio Olympics and we are very pleased to support the team, by providing a motorhome.”
“Cycling is a great activity and many of our customers either take bikes with them or spectate at many of the Tours throughout Europe.”
Team Wiggins will be competing in their first race at the Tour of Normandy, which started on 23 March and will go on until 29 March. To stay posted on the team’s results, click here.
