The official presentation of the CCC Sprandi Polkowice team for 2016 season took place in the new headquarter and cycling logistic center.
"Two years ago, the owner of CCC, Dariusz Miłek, introduced us to this idea of creating one of the best teams in the world, which competes in the UCI World Tour. At first we didn’t know what to think about it, since it seemed almost impossible to achieve. Thanks to the President’s enthusiasm and energy we started to believe that we can make it happen. He taught us that nothing is impossible and today I have the pleasure to welcome everyone in this beautiful and modern logistic center, present the strong squad of CCC Sprandi Polkowice and we know that with every day we are getting closer to our goal," Robert Krajewski, CEO of the team, said on the stage.
"We are developing so quickly that we might have to expand our headquarter," Piotr Wadecki, sporting director, said half jokingly. "Today we know that we will be racing in some big events this year, such as Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-Sanremo, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Volta a Catalunya and Amstel Gold Race. We have also applied for invitations to other prestigious one-day spring races, which we are focusing on in the first part of the season."
Dariusz Miłek was the one to open the ceremony and welcome all the guest. Also the president of the Polish Cycling Federation was on the the floor and thanked the biggest patron of Polish cycling for his involvement not only in the professional team but also the Federation, which is sponsored by CCC as well.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of all 27 riders of CCC Sprandi Polkowie on a center stage. Well-known TV presenters Paulina Chylewska and Piotr Sobczyński who were hosting the gala mentioned the biggest achievements of every rider and interviewed some of them.
