SKIL and Team Visma | Lease a Bike stay the course

SKIL continues its partnership with Team Visma | Lease a Bike and remains the proud power tool partner of the cycling team. Under the banner of Behind Victory, SKIL highlights the role of preparation behind top performance. Because winning doesn’t just happen on the road, it starts behind the scenes; in the lead-up to a race; through training, nutrition plans, and the work of mechanics who, with precision and the right tools, ensure riders can perform at their best. This is exactly where SKIL plays its role, by providing the tools needed to operate at the highest level.

Behind Victory

As a complement to Team Visma | Lease a Bike’s Beyond Victory motto, SKIL gives its own interpretation to the partnership through the Behind Victory campaign. With Behind Victory, SKIL highlights everything that happens before a win: the preparation, craftsmanship, and tools required to make top performance possible. This puts the work behind the scenes, ranging from fine-tuning bikes to the efforts of mechanics, at the heart of the story.

“Our partnership with Team Visma | Lease a Bike and the Behind Victory message perfectly reflect what SKIL stands for”, says Edwin Aartman, Commercial and Marketing Director EMEA at SKIL. “It’s not just about the result, but especially about what comes before it; the process leading up to success. With Behind Victory, we shine a light on the craftsmanship behind the scenes, where the right tools and expertise make all the difference.”

New cycling jersey
Team Visma | Lease a Bike recently presented their new 2026 Tour de France jersey, featuring the SKIL logo prominently. Each year, the team creates a special jersey design for the Tour de France. This year’s design is inspired by the work and sketches of architect Antoni Gaudí, a reference to the city where this year’s Tour de France will begin; Barcelona. Fans were given the opportunity to vote between two versions of the jersey. The winning design, the dark version, will be worn during the Tour de France.

Tools in Team Visma | Lease a Bike yellow

To celebrate the partnership, SKIL is launching two products in a special Team Visma | Lease a Bike edition, designed for true fans and finished in the team’s iconic yellow. These include a cordless air compressor, ideal for quickly inflating bike tires before or after a ride, and a compact cordless screwdriver for small adjustments and assembly tasks, such as installing accessories or components. The products are available via www.skileurope.com and at various DIY retailers.
