168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Deceuninck-QuickStep and Specialized have today announced the renewal of their partnership, in a deal that will see the team continue aboard 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Specialized bikes until 2027. 

The six-year deal, which also extends to Specialized's component subsidiary Roval, means that the American brand will continue to supply the team with bikes, helmets, shoes and tyr♏es, as well as wheels and components from Roval. 

"Specialized is impeccable as a partner," said Patrick Lefevre, Deceuninck–Quick-Step's manager. "Rather than tell us wh♕at they need, they interact witꦜh us, and we develop and evolve together. Their processes and communications, enthusiasm, drive for innovation, and eye for details make them the perfect technical partner."

Today's announcement extends the relationship to one lasting a minimum of two decades. It initially began with a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:bidding war in late 2006 when the team went under the guise of Quickstep-Innergetic, and in their inaugural seas🤪on together, Tom Boonen piloted the team's Campagnolo equipped Tarmac SL2 - complete with rim brakes, tubular tyres and ca♔ble-actuated gears - to Tour de France green jersey success.

In the years since, the bikes have continued to evolve while the partnership has continued to grow. The latest version of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Specialized Tarmac - now up to SL7 - was developed in conjunction with riders from the team. One of those riders involved was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kasper Asgreen, who recently rode the finished product to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:victory at the Tour of Flanders. 

It is a bike committed purely to disc brake technology, such is the direction that the industry has travelled. But perhaps more controversially, its Roval wheels are 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:fitted with clincher tyres, complete with inner tubes inside, despite much of the professional peloton ditching tubular tyres in fꦑavour of tubele🍒ss systems. 

“For over a decade, Deceuninck-QuickStep has been instrumental in the development of cutting-edge technology for our bikes and equipment," explained Specialize🦩d CEO Mike Sinyard. "We are honored to continue our close partnership with Patrick and the team with the wealth of experience they bring to drive the future of our sport.&r🌃dquo;
