(PRESS RELEASE) MADRID, 9-Aug-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Plenitude, a subsidiary of Eni, is set to play a crucial role in the 79th edition of La Vuelta, one of the most prestigious cycling competitions in the world. For the third consecutive year, Plenitude will not only serve as the main sponsor of the event but also as the Energy Partner, ensuring the energy supply for all electric vehicles supporting the race. This partnership underscores Plenitude’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions in high-profile sporting events.

La Vuelta 24, spanning 3,265 kilometers across Spain and Portugal, will feature 21 stages from 17 August to 8 September 2024. As part of its sponsorship, Plenitude will once again sponsor the “Maillot Blanco” (White Jersey), awarded to the best young cyclist of each stage. This jersey has been worn by future cycling stars like Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar and Spain’s Enric Mas, symbolizing the company’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of athletes.

In addition to its sponsorship, Plenitude is bringing added excitement to La Vuelta 24 through the presence of Spanish cycling legend Óscar Freire, who will serve as the company’s ambassador. Fans will have the chance to meet Freire at each stage, further enhancing the fan experience.

This year, Plenitude is also launching the “Energy for Each Stage” initiative, which celebrates the rural heritage of Spain by involving local communities along the race route. The project includes the production of short films capturing the energy and passion of the people in five selected villages. These films will be showcased in local sports fields and later compiled into a documentary, highlighting the unique energy found in every corner of Spain.

Plenitude’s comprehensive involvement in La Vuelta 24, from powering electric vehicles to celebrating local communities and youth athletes, showcases its commitment to sustainability, sportsmanship, and cultural heritage.
