Special Focus RS Sports Yellow as Ford Celebrates Tour de France Victory with Team Sky and Chris Froome

Ford is today celebrating Team Sky’s continued success at the #tourdefrance after helping the elite cycling team and lead rider #chrisfroome to victory on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

It was a fourth #tourdefrance victory for Froome and the fifth for #teamsky. Team mate Mikel Landa also finished fourth in the general classification and #teamsky won the best overall team.  

Ford is Team Sky’s exclusive supplier of cars and vans, and for the final stage of the race the Team Sky #ford#focusrs Option Pack – a support vehicle for time-trial stages and a scouting car – featured a special yellow livery, as did Mondeo Wagon Sports Director race cars. The entire fleet of #teamsky #ford support vehicles, which also includes Edge and Kuga SUVs, S-MAX sports activity vehicles, and Tourneo Custom and Transit vans, also featured a yellow stripe to replace the usual blue stripe.

“The #tourdefrance has once again captured the imagination of the world and we are delighted to be part of a winning team, our vehicles playing an integral role in helping #teamsky and #chrisfroome to achieve another well-deserved victory,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, #ford of Europe.

Ford has supplied #teamsky with vehicles since 2016 and earlier this year extended that partnership to continue through 2019.
