Russian WorldTour Team Katusha is happy to announce its partnership with the Belgian company QM SPORTS CARE. Katusha’s sports care products partner for 2015 and 2016 has a worldwide distribution, especially in cycling. QM will provide the team with its high performance antifriction creams, warming balms, pre and post sports oils and creams as well as with its shower and bath products.
Team Manager and three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Viacheslav Ekimov is delighted with the arrival of the QM brand:
– We knew QM as supplier of other top level WorldTour teams. Because of their good reputation, we did not hesitate a second to join in partnership with the company of Johan Van Steendam. Johan has been a rider and he is the creator of all formulas for his products based on his experience over the years as a sports physiotherapist and aroma therapist. The willingness of QM to customize its products according to our rider’s and massage therapist’s unique demands facilitated our partnership easily. After our successful 2014 we want to aim even higher for the coming seasons, but riders will only perform when everything is perfect. That’s also why we have chosen QM. We are already using QM products at our training camp in Calpe and I only hear ‘the best we ever had’ comments from riders as well as soigneurs, – explains Viacheslav Ekimov.
Also for QM it is a special moment:
– We were impressed by the results of Team Katusha in the classics as well as in the Tour de France. For our company, it was an honor to see the team interested in our products. Apparently our reputation is very good. It is our ambition to be ‘the best in the world’ for each product in our range, in effect and in composition. We want to be the ideal partner of highest level riders from preparation, over effort, to recovery and eventual treatment of injuries. Team Katusha knows that we will not only give them top quality but will also collaborate with them every day to adjust our product to fulfill the needs of the team. The feedback from the team’s leaders Alexander Kristoff and Joaquim Rodriguez and the Russian athletes, like Russian champion Aleksandr Porsev or Sergei Chernetckii, will make our products even better than they already are. It is great to work with some of the world’s best cyclists, directors and staff and to know that they like our products, – says Johan Van Steendam, CEO QM SPORTS CARE.
QM SPORTS CARE presents its range of products at Velofollies Benelux Bike Show in Kortrijk, Belgium from January 16-18, 2015.
