Soudal – Quick-Step will once
again ride under a new name for the upcoming Tour de Pologne, with the squad
rebranded as ‘T-Rex Quick-Step’ for the week-long race in Poland. The identity
shift, first introduced at last year’s Vuelta a España, returns alongside the
team’s eye-catching black-and-gold Castelli jerseys. These kits are inspired by
the team’s title sponsor Soudal’s adhesive product, T-REX GOLD. The rebranding
comes as the team targets stage wins and a possible overall result during
Poland’s top cycling event, starting on Monday.

“We are once again extremely proud
to support the team of the Tour de Pologne,” said Andrzej Kaczor, Managing
Director of Soudal Sp, in a press release. “Just as this prestigious race
promotes our country on the international stage, the distinctive team name and
the new logo featured on the riders’ kits promote the high-quality T-REX GOLD
adhesive range perfectly – ultra-strong, ultra-fast, and exceptionally
reliable, just like the athletes in our team.”

Kaczor added, “T-REX GOLD stands
as a symbol of durability, strength, innovation, and boldness – qualities that
align perfectly with the spirit of professional cycling and drive our team to
achieve consistent success. I am confident that this unique element – a key
part of our brand promotion strategy – will leave a lasting impression on
cycling fans and our loyal customers alike.”

The Tour de Pologne runs from
August 4 to 10 and serves as the first major WorldTour event following the Tour
de France. With a mixed terrain offering chances for sprinters, puncheurs, and
time trialists, the race begins in Wroclaw and wraps up in the historic salt
mine town of Kopalnia Soli.

“We have a strong and confident
team for next week and we hope to get some more good results at this race where
we’ve won a lot in the past,” said sports director Dries Devenyns. “For the
bunch sprints we count on Paul, who has had some nice victories this year and
who can rely on several riders to control the flat stages and guide him in the
finale. Concerning the general classification, we plan on taking it day by day
and see what we can do there.”
