The Organizing Committee of the UCI Cycling World Championships 2027 Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc is proud to announce its first official partner: **CB (Cartes Bancaires CB)**, a major player in card and mobile payments in France. This significant partnership will see CB, already a supporter of the French National Cycling and Para-cycling Teams, showcase its tricolor logo internationally. It also reinforces their commitment to a sport that embodies their core values: performance, innovation, and inclusion.
Cycling, a popular and accessible sport deeply rooted in local communities and focused on the future, naturally aligns with CB's identity and its commitment to the real economy and citizens. "We are delighted to welcome CB as the first official Partner of the UCI Cycling World Championships 2027 Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc. This partnership is a strong signal for the development of the event and highlights the attractiveness of this unique project, which aims to bring together all cycling disciplines and celebrate cycling in all its splendor."
“We are very pleased that CB is joining the peloton of partners for Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc 2027. This commitment helps strengthen the momentum around this exceptional event, which will showcase Haute-Savoie and France to the world.”
“CB is proud to become a partner of the UCI Cycling World Championships 2027 Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc. This exceptional event, organized in France, brings together values dear to us: sporting and human performance, innovation, and social and territorial inclusion. For CB, supporting this global cycling gathering on our territory was a natural choice. Through this partnership, we are supporting a popular, sustainable, and accessible sport for everyone, resolutely focused on the future.”
As part of this partnership, each French medal won will trigger a donation to the association Premiers de Cordée, which is committed to inclusion through sport for children with illnesses or disabilities.
