Cycling team season
The 2015 season for the Team Giant–Alpecin began in January with the Tour Down Under . As a UCI WorldTeam , they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour .
In September 2014 German shampoo manufacturer Alpecin announced that they would co-sponsor the team alongside Giant for the 2015 season.[ 1] In December 2014 Sunweb (a Dutch owned international tour operator) was announced as a new major sponsor of the team, signing a 2-year deal.[ 2]
As of 1 January 2015 [ 3]
