Hytera sponsors UCI Feminine Cycling Team

The team formed from the national league team "Stevens-Hytera" will take part more in UCI races on the world cycling calendar. Due to its UCI status the team is hoping to be able to start in many one-day races in spring. Team manager Eric Schneidenbach: "Above all the races in Holland and Belgium are essential for the success of a team. Here the issue is not only to lay the sporting foundation, but also to do something for the popularity of our girls."

Along with Stephanie Borchers and Sophie Lacher, both successful sportswomen in the national cycling league, the U19 World Championship contenders Jacqueline Dietrich and Annabell Öschger (Team Stuttgart) are joining the team. The team will also become more international as two riders from the "Bigla Cycling Team" have been signed up: the Austrian champion Jacqueline Hahn and the experienced Swiss-born Désirée Ehrler. From the powerful "cycling nation", the Netherlands, the former U19 European Champion Corine van der Zijden is joining the team along with Lotte van Hoek.

Hytera supports the team not only financially, but also provides DMR radios. The riders use the extremely light, compact handheld radio X1e. The support team uses the handheld radio PD605 and has MD785 mobile radios to safeguard communication during the race. "We are pleased to be involved as a sponsor and in particular to further women's professional cycling in collaboration with the Feminine Cycling Team", stated Markus Oltmanns, Director Sales Support at Hytera.
