Demi Vollering won the Tour de France for women last year. This season things are going a little slower for the time being, but the season is still long. In the meantime, she has received some serious news.
The now 27-year-old Demi Vollering has become a ‘Nike athlete’. Normally, that sports brand rarely moves in the peloton. The most famous riders who ever did things for Nike included Mark Cavendish and Lance Armstrong.
“I am proud and grateful. With Nike’s support, I will pursue the dreams and goals I have set. Moreover, I am aware of my role within women’s cycling and women’s sports in general.
“Together with Nike I can achieve common goals and spread messages effectively. We want to inspire many people to get moving. Together we make our dream come true,” said Vollering in The last news.
Proud Achievement
She shared another message via social media about how proud she is with her new deal. The nature of the deal is not yet fully known. More details may emerge in the coming weeks and months.
Will Nike also work with more cyclists in the coming years? That is not yet known.
