LONG-TIME cycling supporter, ŠKODA, has once again renewed its support for the sport, by providing 18 Skoda vehicles to the 300-mile London to Paris endurance bike ride.
The event, which started yesterday and will finish in the French capital tomorrow, attracts 450 riders across three stages – and is billed as a mini Tour de France for cycle-mad members of the public.
As official car sponsor, ŠKODA will supply a fleet of ŠKODA Octavia Estate and ŠKODA Superb Estate models to lead each speed group and transport a 260-strong crew of mechanics, marshals, outriders and sports therapists over the three-day event.
The gruelling ride set off from Hampton Court on the outskirts of London yesterday morning (26 June), and will finish at the Eiffel Tower tomorrow. The range of practical ŠKODA estate models is perfect for the job on hand, boasting impressive boot space and almost unrivalled levels of comfort and convenience.
