The riders have been training together in the lead up to the event having just completed a training camp with multi time nation title holder Scott Columb last weekend, creating a strong foundation of mutual support, shared learning, as well as healthy competition. This dynamic environment is lifting performance and creating a tight-knit unit with a shared goal” representing New Zealand with pride on the world stage.
Infonet Solutions, a trusted name in digital solutions and technology infrastructure, has come on board in a significant show of support for our sport and the development on emerging athletes.
“We’re incredibly proud to support this passionate and talented group of young riders as they represent New Zealand on the international stage. And to do so in Italy, the country where Infonet Solutions was born, makes it even more special. Since opening our New Zealand branch in 2017, we’ve built strong roots here, and this sponsorship is a meaningful reflection of the connection we feel between the two countries we call home.
At Infonet Solutions, we believe in backing young talent, fostering opportunity, and helping people grow, whether in tech or in sport.
Supporting the team’s journey to ISDE 2025 is our way of contributing to something bigger, and we’re honored to be part of it.”
The Team Manager is the highly respected Kylie Dorr, whose leadership and dedication continue to be instrumental in the development of ISDE teams. With her extensive experience and hands-on approach Kylie brings a steady hand to guide this youthful squad through the rigorous demands on international racings.
The ISDE is the Olympics of our sport, and it is an incredible opportunity for these riders to compete on the world stage said Dorr. “Having Infonet on board is a game changer – it allows us to focus on the task ahead and ensure our riders are prepared to perform at their absolute best.”
The 2025 ISDE will take place in Bergamo Italy, and will feature top riders form over 30 countries. The event tests endurance, skills and team spirit across six intense days of competition. New Zealand’s participation in the ISDE has a proud legacy, and this year’s team promises to build on that tradition with fresh energy and ambition. With Infonet’s backing, the road to Italy is now firmly underway.
