South Beach’s iconic 5-star hotel The Setai, Miami Beach has just announced its sponsorship of the EF Education-EasyPost pro cycling team for this year’s Tour de France, which started on July 1 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

EF Education-EasyPost is a US professional road cycling team founded in 2003. The team has been a UCI WorldTour participant since 2009 and is headed up by former US racing cyclist Jonathan Vaughters. Since its launch, its riders have won stages in all three of cycling’s Grand Tours in France, Italy, and Spain, along with the overall title at the Giro d’Italia. The team has also won four of cycling’s five “Monuments,” the biggest one-day races in the sport, in Paris-Roubaix (2011), Liège-Bastogne-Liège (2013), the Giro di Lombardia (2014) and the Tour of Flanders (2019). The team first entered the Tour de France 14 years ago.


The Setai, Miami Beach is delighted to sponsor a team for whom sportsmanship, character, and ethical competition are core values. The team competes in races across the world and prides itself on inspiring cyclists of all kinds.
