Omega Pharma have renewed their sponsorship of the Belgian based cycling team.
The Belgian Pharmaceutical company, founded in 1987 by Marc Coucke and Yvan Vindevogel, has renewed their contract with the OPQS which has British Road Race Champion Mark Cavendish amongst their roster for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, following a meeting in Amsterdam between the owner of the team Zdenek Bakala, Executive Chairman of the Board Bessel Kok, CEO Patrick Lefevere, and Marc Coucke, CEO of Omega Pharma.
"I am happy because the stability of the team is guaranteed," Lefevere said to the OPQS website. "I woud like to thank Marc Coucke and Omega Pharma for the trust they put in us. We will do our best to repay their confidence with great results in the next seasons. The next step is to renew contracts with our other sponsors until the end of 2015, and at the same time start thinking about our future beyond that."
"We are really happy about our relations with the team not just for the results, but the culture of the team and what the team represents in the world of cycling image wise," Coucke said "When we started with the team two years ago we had as an objective to be among the top 10 of the UCI Classification. Now we go for two more years to be even better and find a stable place in the top five of the UCI WorldTour."
