Mechanicien Raboabank It is hard to imagine the Dutch and international road racing scene without the Rabobank professional cycling teams. This ‘pride of Holland’ has been racing the roads for more than 15 years. Training, counselling and coaching talented cyclists, most of them Dutch, are of paramount importance to the teams. The current generation, with standard-bearer Robert Gesink in the vanguard, as well as youngsters such as Boom, Langeveld, Kruijswijk and Bos are bursting with impatience to put in good performances. As well as the world team Rabobank has a continental team and an off-road team.

 

Until the end of 2012 Stork Technical Services (STS) is to be the sponsor of the technical team of Rabo Cycling Team. This coming Sunday Doug Meikle, CEO of STS, and Harold Knebel, director of Rabo Cycling Team, will sign the sponsorship contract during the Amstel Gold Race. This makes STS the official supplier of Rabo Cycling Team. In the context of this role STS will support the Rabo mechanics in various ways.

For more than 180 years, Stork Technical Services has been offering asset integrity consultation and maintenance services to companies in the chemical, oil & gas and energy industries, among others, ensuring that they run their businesses without interruption. Similarly, the Rabo mechanics perform an indispensable role to ensure that the riders get safely across the finishing line. Performing at a continuously high level is precisely what links Stork Technical Services and the Rabo Cycling Team.
