Rabo ProTeam, Rabo Continental Team and Rabo Cyclo-Cross Team, together totalling around fifty cyclists, are the most visible manifestations of Rabobank’s ambitions in the area of cycling, as set out in the Rabo Cycling Plan. Rabobank invests in cycling. It is the main sponsor of the Royal Dutch Race Cycling Union (KNWU) and supports the Dutch Tour Cycling Union (NTFU). Local Rabobanks sponsor numerous cycling activities in their regions and support events for young people and talents. Rabobank is one of the driving forces behind the touring version of the Amstel Gold Race, Go Biking Tour, Rabo Dikke Banden (‘fat tyre’) races and several cycling clinics. The professional Rabo cycling team was highly successful in 2007. Victories included the Tour of Spain (‘Vuelta’), the Swiss Tour de Romandie and several classics. The espoirs, including cyclo-cross racer Lars Boom, road cyclist Thomas Dekker and track cyclist Theo Bos, let their names heard on many occasions in 2007. The Rabo team experienced great ups and downs in the 2007 Tour de France. The required actions have been taken to prevent incidents such as those in 2007 from reoccurring.
