Kern Pharma cycling team faces sponsorship uncertainty
The Kern Pharma cycling team faces an uncertain future as its primary sponsor has announced it will not renew its support after seven years. The sponsorship is set to conclude at the end of the current season.
Team manager Juanjo Oroz expressed anxiety regarding the team's ability to remain in the professional peloton. While negotiations with potential new sponsors are ongoing, no official agreements have been finalized. To help secure the project's viability, the team is focusing on performance during the Vuelta a España, with the specific goal of winning a stage.
Due to the lack of a guaranteed contract for next year, Oroz has granted riders and support staff the freedom to negotiate with other professional teams. The team continues to emphasize its developmental model, focusing on training young talent rather than purchasing established stars.
