Team DSM (Netherlands) - Press Release: Ahead of the 2022 campaign Team DSM gathered together in the Netherlands for their Team Launch, with fans, media and partners joining from all over the globe, tuning in to follow the live virtual show, as the team prepared for their second season with Royal DSM as their title partner.

With all three of the team’s programs in attendance under one roof, the team cast their eyes forward to what lies ahead in 2022, outlining their ambitions for the new season and beyond.

Reflecting on the 2021 season:

Building on an existing innovation partnership that had grown over the past half decade, Team DSM took their distinctive two-striped design emblazoned with Royal DSM’s bright blue to 20 countries throughout the world in 2021; claiming 34 wins, 70 other podium finishes and a further 165 top tens across their three programs.

Team DSM CEO Iwan Spekenbrink said:

“This year with DSM we really stepped things up. DSM are a global company and to have their innovation power at the disposal of the team – with their scientists working day and night to come up with new developments in health and nutrition – is something we are really proud of and is truly inspiring to us all. Our specialists and colleagues back at our HQ are absolutely in their element and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute working in this way with DSM. We’re looking forward to what the future brings us, as we continue to push and drive each other to bigger and better things.”

DSM co-CEO Dimitri de Vreeze continued:

“We’ve really enjoyed our first year with Team DSM. This is a fantastic, passionate group of people who share similar values to us as an organisation, and it’s great to work with them in this way. Cycling is a demanding sport and, through science and technology, we at DSM can help the team’s riders stay healthier, recover faster and perform better. The team has been such an inspiration for us and others already – they’ve encouraged our employees, customers and the general public to get on their bikes and think about our own health and nutrition that little bit more – something we think is really important and one of the motivations for our partnership.”

Looking ahead, the team will operate under a Dutch license in 2022 and look to build on these foundations as they continue to make their mark within the incredibly challenging and competitive sporting environment of cycling.
