During this outstanding Tour de France Innergetic has, once again, ensured that OPQS enjoys a good night's rest every evening so they appear at the next stages well rested. In fact, the partnership is going so well that Innergetic extended its contract with OPQS even until 2014. Innergetic is supporting the racing cyclists for the 9th year in a row now, at their explicit request.
No one would disagree that the Tour de France puts great pressure on the cyclists. That's why it is so crucial for them to have an invigorating night's rest every day. Yet, as the sportsmen change hotels and, consequently, beds and sleeping comfort day after day, it is not always easy to sleep well. The Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team therefore explicitly asked Innergetic to support them for the 9th year in a row, during the 2013 Tour, by moving their personal Innergetic mattress from hotel to hotel. Innergetic has gladly undertaken the task, thus offering the cyclists their well-deserved night's sleep, so that they can appear at the next stage's start with their batteries recharged.
Sylvain Chavanel, French TT Champion. "Sleep quality is fundamental. Thanks to Innergetic during the Tour de France we can sleep as if we were at home, even in a random hotel room. In fact, each athlete on the team has an Innergetic mattress at home with the same features as those we end up using during the Tour de France. The service Innergetic offers the team provides a considerable advantage during important moments like stage races."
Tony Martin, Winner of the Stage 11 Tour de France TT at Mont-Saint-Michel. "After my crash in the first stage the recovery was really important to be ready as fast as possible for the ITT in Mont-Saint-Michel, which I won. I have to say I found in Innergetic a perfect partner to recover and be ready for the races. I have to thank Innergetic for its support during the Tour de France. It's incredible how you can really tell the difference between a traditional mattress and an Innergetic. After a few days you feel as if you have never slept so relaxed. When I wake up I feel really rested and ready to face a day of training or racing."
Matteo Trentin, Winner of Tour de France Stage 15 in Lyon. "Sleeping on an Innergetic mattress is important because it matters to sleep in the same environment every night for consistent sleep recovery. To recover after long stages of a Grand Tour such as the Tour de France is the key to success. After a long day on my bike I really enjoy my time on the mattress and on the Innergetic pillow. Sometimes I also take the pillow with me on the team bus for long transfers to stay comfortable."
Greater chance of getting a good night's rest
The Innergetic mattresses meet the four main criteria for a high-quality mattress: good energy return, comfort, high-capacity ventilation and durability. The revolutionary mattress core in latex foam perfectly adapts to the sleeper's body contours. Which improves the odds of getting a good night's rest – and winning the race!
