THE POWER OF SPORT<br />
Sport has the power to do many<br />
things. And one of those things<br />
is reinforce and enhance the<br />
reputation of your brand and<br />
the quality of your products.<br />
That’s probably part of the<br />
reason why German motorhome<br />
brand Carthago is continuing<br />
its partnership with professional<br />
cyclist and two-time Tour de<br />
France winner Tadej Pogačar<br />
by supplying him with another<br />
first-class motorhome to use<br />
during training and racing.<br />
The 23-year-old Slovenian is<br />
widely regarded as one of the<br />
top performers in world cycling<br />
at the moment and collected his<br />
new Carthago c-compactline<br />
motorhome from the company’s<br />
Slovenian factory in May <strong>–</strong> even<br />
taking part in a community bike<br />
ride with more than 200 of the<br />
facility’s employees.<br />
Marcus Kern, chairman of<br />
the Carthago management,<br />
said: “We are delighted that<br />
the top racing cyclist is relying<br />
on a top class motorhome<br />
from our company. Cycling<br />
and motorhomes have certain<br />
things in common: hard<br />
training and precision work are<br />
required in order to produce top<br />
performance in both areas.”<br />
Meanwhile Sandra Županec,<br />
managing director of Carthago<br />
d.o.o., added: “We are proud of<br />
the fact that Tadej Pogačar is<br />
staying on board as a part of the<br />
Carthago family. The outstanding<br />
popularity of this event with our<br />
employees on their weekend off<br />
is a good indication of the level<br />
of their identification with the<br />
top sportsman, who embodies<br />
the same values as the Carthago<br />
brand: team play, appreciation<br />
and trust.” For more, visit:<br />
