The FDJ Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope team has announced a new co-title sponsor in conjunction with the Tour de France Femme Avec Zwift and will be renamed FDJ-SUEZ Futuroscope beginning July 15.
The water and waste management company has signed a three-year contract with the women's world team, and Futuroscope will be dropped from the name next season.
FDJ will extend its commitment to the team through 2025, and Futuroscope and the Nouvelle Aquitaine region will also continue as non-name sponsors.
The team's press release states that its status as a WorldTeam is "an essential step for the team and opens up new world-class sporting objectives."
"In an increasingly competitive women's peloton, and considering the most important cycling race of the year, the Tour de France Women's Zwift, the support of SUEZ and FDJ, along with our historic partners, will be decisive in achieving the highest level of team performance will be decisive in achieving the highest level of team performance," said General Manager Stéphane Delacourt.
"We are very proud of the progress we have made since the creation of the team in 2006. We are pursuing this human and sporting adventure with strong motivation and great ambition."
