Czech Tour 2.Pro – Live International Broadcast
Screen time and high-visibility presence across the season's premier UCI ProSeries broadcasts.
Dear Partner,
A lifelong childhood dream came true when our amateur outfit stepped up to the Continental level in 2025, elevating Team United Shipping (TUS) into the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) professional ranks. Our debut season was both intensive and immensely rewarding, proving the incredible untapped potential within Hungarian cycling.
At TUS, performance and progression are both sporting and commercial imperatives. On the road, we are forging a disciplined team built on a modern racing mindset; off the road, we deliver seamless professional operations, measurable media visibility, and tangible activation value for our partners.
When it comes to sponsorship, we do not believe in off-the-shelf packages: every single partnership is tailored to perfection. We align visibility, brand activations, and reporting frameworks directly with your corporate objectives—whether that is brand awareness, market preference, B2B networking, employer branding, or ESG impact.
I look forward to our personal conversation and to shaping the future together.
Sincerely,
Zoltán Kummer
Team Owner
We are a
cycling nation
Few in Hungary realize it, but the data speaks for itself: we are one of Europe's true cycling nations.
- 60% of the population rides a bicycle on a regular basis
- 30% of adults get in the saddle multiple times a week
- 70% of cyclists also own a car — proving that cycling is not a compromise, but a conscious lifestyle choice.
- an average Hungarian cyclist covers 11.5 km per day on two wheels
“We are so close to becoming the next Netherlands; all it takes is determination—the potential is immense.”
The Momentum That Moves Brands Forward
In recent years, competitive cycling has experienced explosive growth
in Hungary — both in fan enthusiasm and mainstream media coverage.
Domestic Impact
- The international achievements of Attila Valter and Blanka Vas have welcomed entirely new fan segments to the sport.
- The 2025 Tour de Hongrie was broadcast across 72 channels worldwide, including 12 live broadcasters.
- Hungarian teams, led by Team United Shipping, are continuously expanding their footprint in the international peloton.
Global Spotlight
- The 2024 Tour de France broadcast ranked as the world's 3rd most-watched sporting event: 3.5 billion viewers across 190 countries, delivering non-stop media attention.
- International stage races around the globe now consistently command viewership figures in the millions.
Skyrocketing Media Value
- International live broadcasts attract hundreds of thousands of live viewers, while race highlights reach millions.
- Multi-day stage races deliver hours upon hours of sustained screen time for teams and sponsors alike.
- Broadcast ratings for the 2021 Giro d'Italia tripled previous records on the days Attila Valter donned the iconic Maglia Rosa (pink jersey).
Commercial Opportunity
Competitive road cycling today is far more than a sport:
- multi-day live television exposure,
- continuous brand storytelling,
- international reach and high-prestige reputation building.
A modern, sustainable, and inspirational sports platform where athletic excellence and brand building ride the exact same road.

“Both in athletic performance and brand image, this team is operating at the highest standard. Every sponsor involved can look at this project and say: this was a sound investment and the right decision.”
Rather than rigid packages and standardized sponsorship tiers, we believe in collaborative strategy: we craft a bespoke partnership agreement with every sponsor, aligning seamlessly with both parties' capabilities and strategic objectives.
We are passionate about exploring innovative concepts and pioneering new formats: the elements outlined here represent only the foundational building blocks upon which our existing partner agreements are established.
We are proud to already have
such strong support behind us
...and proud that as partners, we can support such a vital cause
“When Zoli Kummer approached me with his vision and the partnership opportunity before the professional team was even launched, I said yes immediately. I knew that whatever bears his name is an initiative we are proud to stand behind. The journey since has unequivocally proven that it was the right call, and we look forward to many more successful years together.”
