Gwent businesses to sponsor cycling event in new year

The headline sponsor of the 2025 CymruVelo Track Cup has been revealed at SD Team.

The event will see top-tier elite and junior cyclists compete against each other at The Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales.

SD Team, a sealant application and cosmetic repair company, will be sponsoring the event, hosted by Beicio Cymru and Newport Live, at the Newport velodrome on January 23 to 25, 2025.

It is expected the event will attract some of the best riders from the UK to compete in numerous races including the sprint, elimination and team sprint races.

SD Team, which used to be known as SD Sealants and which is based in Cwmbran, has been involved with Beicio Cymru since 2015, and has committed another year of sponsorship to the national governing body as well as continuing to support its youth and junior academy.

Caroline Spanton, CEO at Beicio Cymru, said: “We are delighted to have SD Team on board as main sponsors for the 2025 CymruVelo Track Cup.

“Our partnership with SD has developed and become stronger over the years, which has really helped our riders to progress.

“SD Team has supported and funded lots of our individual athletes, so we are thrilled that they will be a big part of this event. After the success of the event last year, we’re really pleased to return for a second time and it will no doubt bring an unforgettable few days of brilliance and skill from some of the best riders in the UK and internationally.”

Nick Jones, SD Team managing director, said: “SD is immensely proud to be the main sponsor of this exciting event, and I have always been an avid follower of cycling in Wales.

“It is an honour to be a part of this wonderful day, and we are looking forward to seeing such talented riders compete at the Geraint Thomas Velodrome of Wales.

“We hope to continue our support of Beicio Cymru and help these athletes develop and have successful careers in the cycling industry.”
