WNT-Rotor Pro Cycling announced on Friday that Ceratizit Group will replace Rotor as the co-title sponsor of the team in 2020. Ceratizit is the parent company of WNT and the two sponsors will provide the financial backing of the newly named Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling team as it heads into its fifth season competing in women's professional cycling.

"CERATIZIT Group and WNT joining together as title sponsors brings the family orientated businesses alongside our professional cycling team, with the values of the two companies and the team going hand in hand. We are looking forward to another successful season in 2020," said Managing Director of Cutting Tools Europe, Claude Sun in a team press release.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
