Soudal Quick-Step has partnered with MatchWornShirt, the experts in authentic and worn sports memorabilia. To celebrate, we are giving fans a chance to buy a jersey worn in the Grande Boucle.
The exciting partnership means that cycling fans all over the world will have the opportunity to bid on race-worn jerseys from the Grand Tours and selected Spring Classics. Our riders will personally sign their own jersey, giving fans the chance to obtain the ultimate fan item via the official website of MatchWornShirt and revolutionise the way we connect with our fans. Before being dispatched, the jerseys will be professionally cleaned using UV-C technology to remove bacteria and viruses, while retaining the essence of your favourite rider and the dirt from the roads, with all jerseys being delivered as authentically as possible.
To kick off the partnership, MatchWornShirt will launch an auction where fans can buy the jerseys worn by our Tour de France team, as they finish the world’s most famous race in Paris. Starting on the second rest day of the Tour de France (Monday 17th), you can bid to buy one of our team’s jerseys, as worn on the Champs-Élysées this Sunday. For more details, click here.
Speaking of the agreement, CEO of MatchWornShirt, Tijmen Zonderwijk said: “Back in 2021, Soudal Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team was the first cycling team to offer their race-worn jerseys via MatchWornShirt. It is therefore with great pride that we are partnering with one of the best World Tour teams on a long-term basis, enabling fans all over the world to own a piece of history in the coming seasons. We can’t wait to get started with this week’s Tour de France race-worn jerseys.”
This was echoed by Soudal Quick-Step CEO Patrick Lefevere, who said: “One of the essences of our team is the connection that we have had with our fans. They have always supported us, through great times and harder times, and this partnership will give our supporters a chance to own some unique pieces of sports memorabilia. MatchWornShirts are renowned for being the experts in this area, offering a reliable and credible service, and we are looking forward to working with them.”
