Veranda's Willems Cycling Team presents BR Performance as a new sponsor. The logo of BR Perfomance, a Belgian company in motor optimalisation and chiptuning, will feature at the back of the team's Doltcini bib shorts from today.

Veranda's Willems CT manager Ivan De Schampelaere was happy with the addition of a new sponsor.

"This is a first step in the right direction to fulfill our ambitions to grow as a team towards procontinental level and shows that our recent successes which include Nokere Koerse (1.HC) and Halle-Ingooigem (1.1) have not gone unnoticed."

Thanks to the support provided by BR Performance the Veranda's Willems team is able to take part in the world championships team time trial in Qatar in October.

"That is fantastic news," said the team's trainer Kristof De Kegel.

"To be able to take part we must qualify by finishing in the UCI Europe Tour top 20 for teams. We are tenth now so qualification for the team time trial event is in our own hands. Being part of the World Championships would be a great reward for the riders and the staff after a year of hard work."
