Ford have extended their partnership with Team Sky
for two more years, and as a result, they have supplied them with a new Focus
RS, which will be used throughout this year's Tour de France. Featuring a
special livery that matches Team Sky's jerseys, the hot hatch will lead their
fleet for the competition, which starts on July 1, in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The hot hatch has also been
fitted with custom bike racks that can handle up to 350 kg of added
weight, and it's ready to carry team members, spare bikes and wheels, tools,
drink bottles, and a large coolbox.
The Focus RS won't be the only Ford vehicle that
will assist Team Sky throughout the challenging competition, as the Blue Oval
has also supplied them with an S-Max, Edge, and Transit, in addition to the
Mondeo wagons used by the company's sport directors and managers.
