Sponsorship
At Jagwire, it’s important to us that we support the sport of cycling. But, when evaluating partnerships we look for teams and athletes whose goals are often larger than competition itself. For us it’s about the added contributions these teams or individual athletes are making to our society. Below are examples of some of the athletes and teams we’re proud to support.
