Ottawa, ON (June 15, 2023) – Cycling Canada is proud to announce that MAPEI, a leading company in the building field of adhesives, sealants and chemical products, has signed on as an Official Partner. The three-year contract will continue through MAPEI’s sponsorship of the 2026 UCI Road World Championships in Montreal, QC.
“Together with MAPEI’s global sponsorship of the International Cycling Union (UCI), we are excited for this opportunity to showcase amateur cycling here at home,” said MAPEI Canada General Manager Marco Roma. Referring to the company’s motto, “never stop pedaling”, he continued, “As we say at MAPEI, cycling is in our DNA. And with Montreal set to host the upcoming 2026 UCI Road World Championships, hopefully our sponsorship today can help spur success for our national team when they compete at home and on the world stage.”
Josh Peacock, Cycling Canada Director of Marketing and Events, added, “We are thrilled to add MAPEI to a growing network of Official Partners that provides a strong foundation for us to build the cycling community in Canada. MAPEI aligns with Cycling Canada in several of its core principles, including the development of local communities and innovation, and we feel that this will contribute to a meaningful partnership for many years to come.”
MAPEI has a historic association with cycling: the Italian-based corporation sponsored a road racing team that facilitated international success for several athletes from 1993 to 2002, including World Road Race Champions in 1995 (Abraham Olano), 1996 (Johan Museeuw), 1998 (Oscar Camenzind) and 2001 (Óscar Freire).
