MADRID, 15 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Unipublic and Correos signed this Monday the agreement that makes the Spanish company the official logistics operator of La Vuelta 24 for the fifth consecutive year, in a relationship that began in 2020 and that consolidates the postal and parcel company as a partner of the Spanish round.
“The president of Correos, Pedro Saura, and the general manager of Unipublic, Javier Guillén, have today renewed the alliance that both entities have maintained since 2020 and which consolidates the postal and parcel company as the Official Logistics Operator of La Vuelta,” announced Unipublic, organizer of La Vuelta.
Once again, Correos will be responsible for transporting the key infrastructure of the 79th edition of the Spanish round, which will be held from 17 August to 8 September 2024.
To this end, Correos will transport more than 400 tons of the necessary material for the race to be held, with 21 starts and 21 finishes, including the first three stages located in Portugal.
The company will provide La Vuelta with a total of 27 tractor units, two trailer trucks, a rigid truck and 15 platforms that will cover 3,265 kilometres loaded with the key material necessary for the race.
In addition to the fences and signs, the equipment also includes various mobile finishing infrastructures, such as the podium, the press room, the signature control, the anti-doping zone or the kitchen truck, among others.
In addition to being the Official Logistics Operator, Correos will be a main collaborator of La Vuelta 24, sponsoring the team classification, which awards prizes to the best team in each stage each day and, at the end of La Vuelta, to the best team in the general classification.
The best team in each stage will go up to the podium at the signing checkpoint every day to collect their award before setting off. Likewise, the team leading the overall classification will wear a red bib with the Correos logo every day, which will distinguish its riders as members of the best formation in the peloton.
Correos’ collaboration with La Vuelta will also be visible this year in the Parque Vuelta at each stage, where the Correos tent will be located and where there will be a competition with two roulette wheels and questions about Correos products with the aim of generating greater knowledge of the products, services and actions carried out by the company.
As a novelty this year, in the first and last stages, which will start in Lisbon and Madrid, those attending the Parque Vuelta will be able to send their postcards to their family and friends from the Correos tent, where a Correos mailbox will be installed, with special stamps dedicated to both stages of La Vuelta, which can be obtained from the ATM machines installed for this occasion.
