PRORIDER PARTNERSHIP
NEW ERA FOR CYCLING At both recreational and competitive levels, cycling is experiencing an unprecedented boom. • Global interest in professional cycling has never been higher, with increased broadcasting hours, TV audiences, roadside attendances and booming public participation. In 2015, the UCI WorldTour will be broadcast to audiences across 175+ countries, with an international peloton of riders originating from 44 different countries. • The popularity of pro cycling has traditionally been influenced by the location of events and success of a nation’s professional riders. However pro cycling’s appeal has been bolstered further by a wider participant base driven by lifestyle considerations. Nowadays cycling is not only an enthralling sport, it is a fashionable activity with crossover appeal. • Sport and business go hand in hand. Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf. However road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred way of networking for the modern professional. How someone rides a bike can give you a real insight into their character. A day in the saddle, tackling climbs, battling headwinds and descending rapidly, creates a bonding experience that endures. In fact the third biggest business deal in history was agreed “in the saddle” between the respective CEO’s of phone companies Verizon and Vodafone.
