The birth of the Tour de Tietema, starting this year Unibet Tietema Rockets, is a case study of absolute originality. It all started in 2019 with Bas Tietema, a former amateur of route who, together with his teammates Devin van der Wiel and Josse Wester, opened a YouTube channel to document their "parallel participation" in the Tour de France, not as agonists with numbers on their backs, but as content creators with a unique and off-the-beaten-track approach. The response from the web was not long in coming, so much so that their channel quickly exceeded 100 followers, all amused and passionate about the videos they upload.
A few years later, the big turning point came: the idea of creating their own team took shape. Bas Tietema and his team therefore began looking for the necessary resources and founded the team in 2023 with the dream of one day participating in the Tour de France, the real one.
Since this year, Unibet Tietema Rockets is a UCI ProTeam that will compete in the most prestigious races in world cycling. KASK is delighted to be part of this adventure.
“We are extremely impressed by the original and innovative approach of the Unibet Tietema Rockets team, which brings a new perspective to the world of cycling. Their determination and ambition are incredible, and they are rapidly gaining momentum. We are proud to partner with such a dynamic and forward-thinking team, whose vision and values perfectly match our own,” says Diego Zambon, CEO of KASK.
"We We have been in contact with KASK for a long time and they have shown great understanding of our project and future goals. During our conversations about a potential partnership, we found a common base of values and we look forward to racing with their helmets over the next two years.", Adds Josse Wester, Unibet co-founder Tietema Rockets. “With their cutting-edge products, KASK will be able to improve the performance of our athletes, as well as provide deep data and insights to our team. The speed of our development has been and will always be the key to achieving our goals, and KASK will be a valuable partner in this process.”
The team's riders will wear the brand's iconic helmets: Valegro, appreciated for its lightness and internal ventilation, Element, which has redefined the standards in terms of safety and aerodynamics, through Nirvana, designed for competitions where aerodynamics are crucial. Finally, during time trials, the team's athletes Unibet Tietema Rockets will wear Mistral et Bambino Pro Evo, two helmets that express aerodynamics pushed to the extreme, using the air at their fronttage.
