After announcing their co-sponsorship in November, Premier Tech has now become a co-owner of the team in equal parts with Kazakhstan. This move reflects Premier Tech’s long-standing commitment to professional cycling.
This new co-ownership strengthens our involvement and our support towards the riders and the entire Astana – Premier Tech team. Our commitment also allows Canada to strengthen its presence as an important stakeholder at the highest level of road cycling. Our co-ownership with Kazakhstan really paves the way for the next generation of Canadian professional riders.
Jean Bélanger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Premier Tech.
I am very excited to start our collaboration with Premier Tech as our co-owner. It is something special, as it is the first time in the team’s history to welcome an international company as a stakeholder in equal parts with our Kazakh stakeholder. Having these two parties on board gives me, and the team strength and confidence about our long-term future as well as the possibility to step up once again in being a professional UCI WorldTeam but at the same time progressing on the business model, which will give us a chance to provide the best conditions for our athletes to see them shining on the podium.
Yana Seel, Managing Director
