The Friends become first local cycling club to be sponsored View(s):The Friends Cycling Club became the first, and only, one of a kind in local cycling to receive a sponsorship from a reputed corporate giant, when they received the backing from Ceylon Agro Industries Limited or Prima Group. The brand Prima Stella Yoghurt will be incorporated with The Friends Cycling Club in their future endeavours, beginning from this month at national cycling events to be held in Sri Lanka. The partnership was announced at a press briefing held at Kelaniya, a location closer to The Friends Cycling Club’s base, last Wednesday. “The Friends is a club that has a respectable history in local cycling, and by today we have a good set of athletes, who have been contributing towards the club with their spirited performances. The Friends Cycling Club, established in 1992, has been one of the top contenders at mega cycling events held locally since its inception.
