Skil-Shimano (UCI Team Code: SKS) is a professional cycling team based in The Netherlands that participates in UCI Continental Circuits races and, when selected, in UCI ProTour events. The team is managed by Arend Scheppink, with assistance from directeur sportifs Akira Bandou, Hisafumi Imanishi, Iwan Spekenbrink, Piet Hoekstra and Rudie Kemna. The team's main sponsors are Skil, a manufacturer of small power tools and Shimano, a manufacturer of cycling components and fishing tackle. The team has existed since 2005 but Skil previously sponsored a French cycling team, Skil-Sem, from 1984 to 1985, with a similar jersey. Thanks to aggressive strategies during Paris–Nice in 2008 and 2009, the team was awarded a wildcard for the 2009 Tour de France, making it their first appearance in a Grand Tour.
The team is planning to change name to Project 1T4i for 2012. [1]
