After winning multiple stages in the 2020 Tour de France and dominating the podium of the Giro d’Italia, one of road cycling’s most exciting young teams, Team Sunweb, became Team DSM in 2021.
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.
Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect to see streaking to the finish line during the 2021 UCI World Tour. Of course, we will be keeping you up to date along the way in the build-up to, during, and after the races throughout the season.
Looking back, 2020 was 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.
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.
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.
The 2020 season saw the Team fueled by DSM's Life’s™OMEGA, BioCare probiotics, FloraGLO® and OPTISHARP®.
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.
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!
Our partnership has grown steadily closer and more intense since 2015, culminating in Team DSM in 2021. Here's a few highlights from the along the way.
