PRESS RELEASE

Trek launched its new Trek Factory Racing apparel today, upping the style and performance for the brand’s XC and CX pros and fans. Both Trek Factory Racing Cyclocross and Cross-Country teams will be rolling into 2023 racing in a single design that unites the men’s and women’s teams under one banner — and the replica apparel available to purchase is designed to match.

The Trek Factory Racing replica kits feature the same graphic that are worn by the pros, but with a more traditional, fitted cut that offers just a bit of forgiveness and room to move. The replica kit will include a men’s jersey and bibshort and women’s jersey and short.

Just like the kits of the pros, this replica team apparel is made by Santini — a global leader in developing apparel through years of passion, testing, innovation, and experience in some of the world’s toughest races.

Privacy Overview

• Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
• A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
• A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
• If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
• An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
• An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
• A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
• You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
• You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
• You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
• You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
• You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
• You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
• You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
• You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
• The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
• An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
• A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
• An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
• A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
• A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
• An advertising intermediary delivers ads from various advertisers to its network of partnering websites. It notices a large increase in clicks on ads relating to one advertiser, and uses data regarding the source of the clicks to determine that 80% of the clicks come from bots rather than humans.
• Clicking on a link in an article might normally send you to another page or part of the article. To achieve this, 1°) your browser sends a request to a server linked to the website, 2°) the server answers back (“here is the article you asked for”), using technical information automatically included in the request sent by your device, to properly display the information / images that are part of the article you asked for. Technically, such exchange of information is necessary to deliver the content that appears on your screen.

Trek Factory Racing ambitious to expand budget with new sponsors

In this age of million-dollar gc riders, gm luca guercilena admits the squad is looking for more money to help its long-term success.

There was plenty of reason to smile inside the Trek Factory Racing team bus at the end of Tirreno-Adriatico. Fabian Cancellara had just taken an emphatic victory in the closing-day time trial to confirm his form ahead of the spring classics, while Bauke Mollema rode to second overall against an elite field to assure everyone that his GC credentials are legitimate.

Tirreno-Adriatico also served as an important milestone for the U.S.-registered team. After a few tumultuous seasons that saw remnants of the team morph from the birth of the Leopard-Trek team in 2011, and merge with RadioShack in 2012, the squad was reborn in 2014 , racing under the banner of Trek Factory Racing. The weeklong Italian race reminded everyone the team has reached new stability and maturity.

“We are a team founded last year on the classics group. This year, we’ve added Mollema to add some stability to the GC target,” Trek general manager Luca Guercilena told VeloNews . “We want to continue to grow the team. We have built a solid base. Now we are ready for the next step.”

In its first season in 2014, the team leaned heavily on Cancellara’s classics acumen. “Spartacus” delivered one of his most spectacular campaigns , with victory at Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) and podiums at Milano-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix.

This year, it’s branching out with new GC ambitions with the arrival of Mollema, who will tackle the Tour de France this summer with an outside shot at reaching the final podium in Paris.

Captain of the ship

The significance of the results in the “Race Between Two Seas” wasn’t lost on Guercilena, a key member of the team’s staff as it transitioned from Leopard to RadioShack to today’s Trek Factory Racing .

Despite some of the backroom tumult that accompanied the Leopard and RadioShack years, the squad enters what Guercilena calls its “second year” with newfound ambitions.

“I consider this the second year of the team. We have many of the same staff, but many of the key people are new to the team last year, so this should be considered a completely new team,” Guercilena continued. “We are a team founded last year on the classics group. This year, we’ve added Mollema to add some stability to the GC targets. The team has bigger ambitions.”

VeloNews sat down with Guercilena one evening during Tirreno-Adriatico to talk about the past, present, and future of the team, one of three U.S.-registered teams in the UCI WorldTour.

The 41-year-old Italian is a former amateur racer who worked as a trainer and manager in the 1990s under legendary coach Dr. Aldo Sassi, who founded the Mapei Sport Center. He later joined Quick Step in 2003, working closely with Paolo Bettini. In 2011, he joined the Leopard-Trek team, and slotted into the role as general manager at the end of 2013, when RadioShack and Nissan ended their respective sponsorship deals. Trek stepped up to take over the WorldTour license.

Following its solid “debut” season in 2014, Trek Factory Racing brings Mollema into the fold, an ambitious all-rounder that Guercilena believes can be a Tour podium contender within the next few years.

“He’s been a great surprise to us. We knew he was good, but he is very easy to work with, and he wants to improve,” Guercilena said. “Mollema is the next step up for us. We want to develop him into a big GC rider.”

Mollema didn’t come cheap, with an estimated salary of $1 million per season. That’s the minimum teams must pay to have a legitimate GC contender on their roster. Many of the top-end stars are earning $2 million to $3 million per season, and few are taking in even more.

‘We need more sponsors’

To reach the team’s stated goal of becoming one of the top teams in the peloton, Guercilena and team brass openly admit they need more money. There is an undeclared salary war ongoing between the major teams for top talent, with salaries topping $5 million per season for major stars such as Chris Froome (Sky) and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo). Guercilena knows if Trek wants to repeat the successes from Tirreno-Adriatico across the grand tours and in the classics, the team will need additional financial backing.

“We want to improve, but this is also dependent on the budget. There are teams that almost have double the budget that we do,” Guercilena continued. “It is important that we can find a co-sponsor or backer that can help us evolve. Trek has helped us start with the team and build a very solid base, but it’s evident that for this project to grow, we need more sponsors.”

The team’s budget is solid for 2015, but with squads such as Sky, Astana, Etixx-Quick-Step, Tinkoff, and BMC Racing boasting budgets topping more than $20 million per season, Guercilena needs another major sponsor in order to stay competitive.

He can only look on with envy at Sky, for example, which signed such riders as Nicolas Roche, Leopold Konig, and Wout Poels, riders who all are legitimate top-10 GC threats, to line up alongside Froome at the Tour de France.

“For us, to arrive at a level of Sky or Etixx-Quick-Step, we need to build up something with new sponsors,” he continued. “The base we have built up with Trek is very important, and especially when you look at the image and results, but we are ready to make a big step.”

Betting on youth

This year, Trek features 27 riders, representing 14 different nations and five continents. Curiously enough, for a U.S.-registered team, backed by an American bike company, there is only one American rider on the squad, Matthew Busche. Why? In part, because the team is committed to signing talented pros, regardless of their passports, but Guercilena also said many top-level U.S. riders are already linked up with other teams.

“The idea was to be an international team, just as Trek is an international company. We are not just focused on the American market. It is important that we are an international team, because cycling is such a global sport,” he said. “And many of the top Americans are already under contract. It’s not easy to find them.”

The team is betting heavily on young talent. Cancellara, 32, has hinted that his current contract, which ends at the end of 2016, will likely be his last. Jens Voigt and Andy Schleck both retired last season, while other veterans, such as Haimar Zubeldia, 36, Stijn Devolder, 34, and Frank Schleck, 33, are seeing their careers winding down.

Last year, nearly half the team was 26 or younger. The team is betting on seeing bigger things from such riders as Bob Jungels, 21, Jasper Stuyven, 21, and Danny van Poppel, 20. Guercilena and his staff are more than willing to work to develop and nurture this talent, but the problem comes when other, deep-pocketed teams offer sweeter deals. Riders such as Jungels and Stuyven, a promising Belgian classics rider, are sure to attract attention from rival teams.

“The budgets are always increasing, you need more and more money,” he said. “We have started to build them up last year, and the intention is to support them as long as possible. These guys are our future.”

Guercilena knows keeping that promising talent in-house will require deeper financial backing from a broad array of sponsors. The race is on in more ways than one.
