QuickStep to end 24-year title sponsorship of Soudal-QuickStep team – but a replacement is lined up for 2027

Soudal-QuickStep have announced international shoe and workwear brand Safety Jogger as their new co-title sponsor from 2027 onwards for the longstanding Belgian squad.

The announcement by the Belgian WorldTour squad was made at a press conference on the Tour de France‘s first rest day.

The team have already won two stages in this year’s Tour de France with Tim Merlier. The Belgian, who scored his eighth win of the season in Bergerac on Saturday, is in contention for the green jersey and has 55 points to make up on classification leader Mads Pedersen.

“Stepping up as the co-title partner is the ultimate recognition of our long-standing relationship and the cherry on top of five years of incredible company growth. From 2027 onwards, we are taking our commitment to the next level, further strengthening our PPE partnerships, brand growth, and our presence on the global cycling stage,” said Safety Jogger CEO Tom Gybels.

Safety Jogger is a shoe and PPE company based in Belgium. Founded in 2000, the company has been partnered with Soudal-QuickStep since 2022 and has provided footwear and workwear for the team since then.

At last year’s Tour de France, the team unveiled a special Safety Jogger jersey to wear on the race’s first rest day. The yellow and black look may hint at the future look of the team with the new sponsor aboard.
