Cannondale Pro Cycling will be known as Cannondale-Drapac Pro Cycling frome the 2016 Tour de France and beyond in a co-sponsorship deal announced on Thursday. The deal with the US-registered team will run for five years.

American-based property funds management business Drapac Capital Partners currently sponsors a Professional Continental level outfit, but the company's sponsorship of a WorldTour-level team means that they have fulfilled their goal of riding in the Tour.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
