The team currently known as LottoNL-Jumbo will be known as Team Jumbo-Visma from 2019. The Dutch formation has reached a five-year deal with the Norwegian company.
The Norwegian company provides business software, IT solutions for retail and IT-related development and consultancy, and will be a name sponsor for the cycling and the speed skating teams. "We are thrilled to be the new sponsor of one of the world's best cycling and speed skating teams," said Visma CEO Øystein Moan.
"Visma provides business-critical software to the public and private sector across a range of industries. We have now reached a stage where we are going from being a Nordic software brand to a Pan-European and supporting team Jumbo-Visma will be an important step in increasing our footprint in Europe."
Team Jumbo-Vista's general manager Richard Plugge welcomes the deal with the Norwegian company. "Thanks to the fruitful cooperation and the development that we have gone through together, Jumbo dared to support our vision for a long and indefinite period of time," he commented. "This has not gone unnoticed. It has created appeal within the sports world and also in the business world. The agreement with Visma is a result of this.
"Visma has been interested for a longer period of time. The long-term support of Jumbo, the resignation of Lotto and especially the way we have positioned ourselves in recent years have convinced Visma to partner up with us. We perform with athletes who have been developed in our team. Visma is the first Norwegian company to support cycling on this scale and I am very proud of that. Moreover, in Norway speed skating counts, just like in the Netherlands. The partnership with Visma underpins the strength of Team Oranje."
