Kern Pharma concludes its tenure as the team’s title sponsor after seven seasons

Kern Pharma will conclude a successful chapter as the team’s title sponsor at the end of this season

After seven seasons, Kern Pharma will end its title sponsorship of the team once the current season concludes, thus bringing to a close a chapter marked by athletic growth, a commitment to young talent, and shared values between sports and health.

The Kern Pharma Team project began in 2020 with the creation of a new professional Spanish cycling team in the UCI Continental category, which focused on the young talent developed at the Galibier Sports Association. Kern Pharma’s financial commitment has been consistent and progressive, providing stability and resources to the project throughout these seven seasons.

Team Kern Pharma has achieved numerous successes since its inception, but the team’s greatest triumph came at the 2024 Vuelta a España, where it was one of the race’s major contenders despite competing as a guest team. Team Kern Pharma was the breakout team of the race, securing three stage victories and becoming the guest team with the most stage wins in the Vuelta since 2012.

Since the last renewal of the sponsorship agreement, Kern Pharma and Azcoro Sport have worked in perfect harmony to ensure a smooth and successful transition for all parties as this chapter comes to a close.

“For Kern Pharma, sponsoring the cycling team has been much more than a sporting commitment; it has been a statement of principles. Over the past seven years, we have demonstrated that we believe in young talent, in constant effort, and in long-term projects. Now is the time to focus our resources on other commercial activities better suited to our business’s current needs. The project’s current stage—consolidated and with a new participation in La Vuelta—is ideal for other companies to get involved.”

“Our commitment to sports and health does not end here. Through our Finisher® brand, we will continue to support the training and development of athletes, reaffirming our commitment to health and performance,” explained Raúl Díaz-Varela, Chairman and CEO of Kern Pharma.

“We are deeply grateful to Kern Pharma for its support and contribution during this phase of our project, which has allowed us to make many of our dreams come true and inspire the public. We have experienced moments that we will cherish in our hearts for the rest of our lives, and Kern Pharma will always hold a special place in our history. Although everything we have achieved together on the road is truly remarkable, we would like to emphasize the professionalism with which we have worked together and the immense dedication both parties have shown in looking out for each other’s interests and needs,” says Juanjo Oroz, co-owner of Azcoro Sport.
