Introducing Team DSM

Team DSM: Being the best we can be
Fresh from winning multiple stages of Tour de France 2020 and dominating the podium of the Giro d’Italia, one of road cycling’s most exciting young teams - Team Sunweb - will transform in 2021 into… Team DSM.
This is the next step after five years of close collaboration, where DSM’s science-based innovation and expertise have been applied inside and out to help the athletes reach new high standards of performance and be the best that they can be in one of sports’ most demanding disciplines.
Keep Challenging: Bring on 2021
Here's a glimpse at what you can expect to see next year streaking past the crowds watching the 2021 UCI World Tour. Of course we'll be keeping you updated along the way in the build-up to, during and after the competition begins again in earnest.
2020: An exceptional year
Looking back, 2020 has been an exceptional year for everyone. Yet despite all the adversities it was also a year that saw the team using more DSM innovations than ever before to great success.
Protective jersey with Dyneema® fabric
Reducing abrasion injuries in the event of a crash…
Over the years our unique collaboration has delivered ground-breaking innovations to the world of cycling such as the protective bib shorts and lightweight protective baselayer. 2020 saw a new introduction, a protective cycling jersey that delivered much-needed increases in abrasion resistance in the event of a fall.
Rain jacket with Arnitel®
Breathable, warm rain jackets for training in all weathers…
An environmentally-friendly, breathable monolithic membrane made from Arnitel® ensured the new jacket offered 100% protection against wind and rain without compromising on riders' movements and athletic abilities.
Fueled by DSM
Health through nutrition
The 2020 season saw the Team fueled by DSM's Life’s™OMEGA, BioCare probiotics, FloraGLO® and OPTISHARP®.
Time trial arm pads
Because weight can make the difference…
By providing much-needed support in the tucked time trial riding position, DSM's 3D-printed arm pads kept riders in a comfortable, aerodynamic position and thus able to deliver the performances they did.
All for moments like this!
The blood, sweat and tears; the time and energy of everyone in the team and our partners; the lows of the set-backs and the highs of the breakthroughs; the years of exceptional dedication from the men and women in the saddle. Was it all worth it? Most definitely!
