ŠKODA KAROQ ready for the first stage of the Tour de France

› The Czech car manufacturer supports teams from South Africa, the Netherlands and Belgium during the time trial in Düsseldorf
› ŠKODA’s compact #suv is used to transport spare parts and is equipped with radio equipment
› More than 250 support and service vehicles from the ŠKODA at the 104th edition of the Tour de France 
› Altogether, the ŠKODA fleet will cover around 2.8 million kilometres during the tour

Mladá Boleslav, 29 June 2017 – The #tourdefrance is ready for the start. On Saturday, the #skodakaroq will line up at the start as a service vehicle for three teams. The new compact #suv is supporting three teams during the 14-kilometre time trial in Düsseldorf. The vehicles have a few added extras on board such as radio equipment. Wraps on the exterior give the #karoq models an individual design. 

​After an absence of 30 years, the Grand Départ of the #tourdefrance is once again taking place in Germany. The time trial of the first stage leads from the fair-ground in Düsseldorf exhibition centre, along the Rhine to the famous Königsallee boulevard and back along the Rhine to the exhibition centre. A premiere for both Düsseldorf and the ŠKODA #karoq, because ŠKODA’s new compact #suv will be presenting itself to the public there for the first time ahead of its market launch at the end of the year. Three ŠKODA KAROQs are accompanying teams from South Africa (Team Dimension Data), the Netherlands (Team Lotto NL - Jumbo), and Belgium (Lotto Soudal) as service vehicles during the 14-kilometre time trial. They will not only act as a spare parts depot on wheels for the racing cyclists, but also have the team escorts on board who will be in communication with their cyclists via radio.
