Jacob James Cyclist
Hello, my name is Jacob James and its my dream to become a professional cyclist, I am a young cyclist from the south of England.
I race my bicycle in the under 23 category in the UK and around Europe. On boxing day I lost my job and I haven’t been able to find or get a job since unfortunately, but I am using this opportunity to really push for my dreams of turning pro. Now I’m not at work I’m a full-time rider riding 18-24 hours as well as a few hours in the gym every week.
Without a job I can go and race freely at these top level races without worrying if the boss will give me time off work. I am looking for a sponsor to help me pursue my dreams and I am confident that I will become pro I just need some time and a little bit of help. I am highly fortunate that I am allowed to race at these UCI races and I will do absolutely anything a sponsor asks for me in return.
Key Dates and Timings
Ideally, I would like a sponsorship for two seasons, but I would be more than happy if I could get a deal done for just till the end of this season until December. Anything is great and will help me progress in my journey of becoming professional. The longer I can carry on riding full-time the more likely I will be able to get to my full potential and show myself in one of these high level uci races.
Specific Opportunity Details
This season I will be racing my bike in Europe with a team from Ireland. In May I have u23 tour of Portugal and Ronde de l’lsard stage race in France. I will find out more of my races closer to the time of the event. I will also be racing in the UK at national level as well as local road races. But the main races I will be really focusing on are the UCI races because that’s where I can do something good and hopefully get spotted by a better team
Features and Benefits
I would do absolutely anything of the what the sponsor asks of me, such as promoting on socials, reviews, advertising at races, and in training by wearing and using the product. i would also sample test if that’s something the sponsor is up for. Anything!
Other Partners
I dont currently have any other sponsors right now but I am emailing lots of brand and companies within the sport. I have spoken to Time Bicycles and Im told I’m on their radar.
Investment
I would be overjoyed if I could get enough money to cover the cost of flights to get to my races in Europe. £200-£300 a month would cover the costs of flights and some maintenance parts for my bike.
If money is not an option I would be more than happy to use product like tyres, sports nutrition and Maintenance parts for my bike for example. Anything will be highly appreciated
