Škoda, one of the four oldest car companies in the world, started nearly 130 years ago by manufacturing bicycles. Naturally, its history has been closely linked to cycling and top-level competition, participating in the world's best races.
Since 2011, Škoda has been one of the main partners of La Vuelta as the main sponsor and official vehicle of the race. Since 2015, and continuing to the present, it has also been the sponsor of the green jersey, the coveted garment for the leader of the points classification.
This year, Škoda has renewed its commitment as the main sponsor of La Vuelta, La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es, Tour de France, and 19 other events on the international calendar organized by the A.S.O. group until 2028.

Škoda provides 90 cars for La Vuelta and emphasizes electromobility with a mix of full electric and plug in hybrid vehicles. Leading the world's best cyclists, in the race director's car, is always the Škoda Superb Combi iV, a car that offers comfortable driving and excellent efficiency for such a demanding event as La Vuelta. In this way, Škoda consolidates its strategy for reducing carbon footprint at one of the world's largest sporting events.
Škoda is also a sponsor of the official mobile apps for La Vuelta and the Tour de France, as well as a series of digital activations based on the “We Love Cycling” brand, aiming to engage cycling fans.
