A sign of solidarity

Cycling connects people, nations and individuals.

In these difficult times, such a bond is more important than ever. We are shocked by the war and the suffering in the Ukraine. There is a reality that was not thought possible. The TORTOUR shows solidarity with the Ukrainian people and calls on all parties to end the war immediately. The TORTOUR logo in the Ukrainian national colors should be a sign of this solidarity! It is very important to us that words are followed by deeds. That is why we are currently organizing a delivery of clothes to the border areas around Ukraine with a humanitarian organization. We would like to support the fleeing population with all the remaining stock of our staff clothing, which offers protection from wind and weather.

Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a big difference! #standwithukraine
