Authorized dealer and repairer of Škoda Apolo vehicles, decided to support the upcoming Blidinje BIKE Festival event and will be the Bronze sponsor of this event. All visitors and participants of the event in 2024 will have the opportunity to meet new products from the ŠKODA factory and test the latest vehicles during the Blidinje BIKE Festival event.
This year, when the Blidinje BIKE Festival becomes part of the new and prestigious UCI calendar with the Class 1 event category, where the Balkan Championship will also be held, ŠKODA has expressed its interest in attending this event, strengthening its commitment to cycling and contributing its knowledge and experience in the sector.
ŠKODA has been nurturing a special relationship with cycling for 120 years. From the first Slavia-branded bikes that left their factory, ŠKODA's passion for two-wheelers is as strong as it was 12 decades ago. We can safely say that ŠKODA has never lost its passion for cycling. The brand sells its own range of two-wheelers and is deeply involved at all levels of cycling. Since 2004, ŠKODA has supported the "Tour de France", the most famous cycling race in the world, as an official sponsor and vehicle partner. It also sponsors other renowned national and international cycling events and maintains comprehensive participation in cycling as a grassroots sport.
In 2024, our support also goes to the biggest cycling festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina – Blidinje BIKE Festival, said the marketing department of Apolo:
„For some time now, we have been following the efforts and positive projects that the association "Hercegovina Bicikl" is realizing here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its presence brings positive changes in the matter of cycling as a sport and cycle tourism. Škoda is widely known for our commitment to this sport, and we, as a local ŠKODA partner, have been waiting for the right moment to get more actively involved in cycling here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, make our contribution and be part of the positive changes that cycling as a sport, a way of life and an increasingly present form of tourism brings. Blidinje BIKE Festival is only the first step in our cooperation, our goals are much bigger and we believe that the association "Hercegovina Bicikl" is the right partner for achieving these goals.“.
There are still 120 days left until the start of the Blidinje BIKE Festival, the biggest cycling festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina that takes place od 12.-14.07.2024 godine, a organizatori ne kriju veliko uzbuđenje zbog ovog projekta, te najavljuju spektakularan vikend. Program događaja možete pogledati na službenoj web stranici Blidinje BIKE Festivala (link), but the association says that the program is still not final, and they announce new things that will soon be on the list.
„This is great news and we are very excited about this collaboration. All these are great things for the Blidinje BIKE Festival, which in 2024 has become an international event, not only in terms of the participants coming to us from 20 countries, but also in terms of the partners who stand by the Blidinje BIKE Festival. First, we signed a cooperation with the company Continental, and then there was a negotiation with the authorized dealer and servicer of Škoda vehicles in Herzegovina, Apolo, with ŠKODA vehicles, and what is important to say is that all these are names that stand with the biggest events in the world, such as "Tour de France" and many others, and today they are here in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Blidinje BIKE Festival. This is what makes us happy and gives us faith that this event will reach the high limits towards which we are actually aiming, because the year 2024 is only an ascending step towards what awaits us soon", commented Toni Zorićpresident of the HerzegovinaBike association.
During the Blidinje BIKE Festival, the company Apolo Mostar will be present at the exhibition fair with ŠKODA vehicles, which participants and visitors will have the opportunity to test in the Blidinje Nature Park, and receive all the information about the novelties that ŠKODA will bring in 2024, as well as how to the easiest and fastest way to become the owner of a new ŠKODA vehicle.
See you in Blidinje!
