Posted by Toby Dickson on 23rd Jan 2018
Wetsuit, swimwear and apparel brand Orca have announced that they have signed a three-year partnership to work with the BMC-Vifit Sport Pro Triathlon Team powered by Uplace.
In 2010 the Uplace Pro Triathlon Team was created as the only Belgian professional triathlon team at the time. The goal was to record top Belgian results in international triathlon. In the following years it evolved into an international team that raced across the globe. Since 2014 the BMC-Vifit Sport athletes have won a total of 65 races and finished on the podium in 136 of them. The team today is one of the leading and most ambitious projects in professional triathlon. It contains eight world-class athletes who will race at over 50 events on the world circuit in 2018.
Liz Blatchford (AUS) - Two-time podium finisher at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii (3rd Ironman WC Hawaii 2015 & 2013), three-time Ironman Cairns winner, multiple Ironman 70.3 distance winner.
