After sponsor withdrawal
Big bang in Wels! Professional cycling team on the brink of collapse
With the entry of the Felt brand, which belongs to Pierer Mobility, as the main sponsor, the team actually had big goals and dreamed of a million-dollar promotion to the second division - but just under a year after the entry, the super disaster followed. The sponsor is gone and the team is history (for now).
"We're all in shock," says RSW Managing Director Daniel Repitz. After the surprising withdrawal of main sponsor Felt, the Wels cycling team can no longer continue. "Everything would have been ready - for economic reasons they can no longer support us," says Repitz, who will now work hard to find a new main sponsor so that the flagship team, which has produced World Tour pros such as Felix Großschartner and Lukas Pöstlberger, can somehow continue.
"Will be very difficult"
"We're working on it, but time is a little tight. But if you are realistic, it will be very difficult," says Repitz, referring to the fact that the squad planning has actually already been completed for all teams. This means that 16 riders around Riccardo Zoidl are on the road. "I have informed the riders that they should look around," says Repitz.
