New kit day continues for all sorts of pros! Tom Pidcock and Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides, Que.’s Nick Zukowsky will take to the roads in 2026 with some fresh new kit for the season. The team has been rebranded as Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, and as such, will ride the fabled Italian brand.

The DOGMA F sports a bold blue-and-gold paintjob, matching the new team’s new race kit.

 

Back in November the news broke that Pinarello would not only provide bikes — but also become the title sponsor of the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.

A new season begins with a clear sense of purpose and golden aspirations.
Built on performance, shaped by precision, and driven by the desire to push further.

Previously the team rode Scott, but Pidcock will once again ride Pinarello. Although he was still riding them on the dirt, this means he will ride Pinarello bikes across all disciplines again. Pinarello previously provided Pidcock on the Dogma XC and Crossista models. Pidcock went on to ride those to Olympic and world championship victories.

“It’s more than a sponsorship — it’s a shared vision,” Fausto Pinarello, president of Pinarello said. “We’re proud to bring the Pinarello name back to the front of the peloton as a title sponsor.”

Pinarello says a limited-edition version of the DOGMA F will also be available for purchase, equipped with the same SRAM groupset used by the team and special-edition Zipp 454 wheels featuring gold accents that mirror the frameset’s design. (Spoiler alert, it will probably cost you a bit of cashola…)

For Zukowsky, 2026 could be another solid year. The former national champion rode his first Grand Tour in 2025 at the Vuelta a España, where Pidcock took third. During the year it was common to see Zukowsky at the front of the peloton, doing an absolute killer job of being a workhorse for his team — usually Pidcock.

He also didn’t feel too shabby after finishing the Vuelta, he said, and looks forward to more Grand Tours. “I was surprised with how I coped with fatigue,” he said. “I think I discovered something I can aim toward next season — maybe focus more on stage races and Grand Tours. Being part of a team on the podium is pretty incredible. It hit me at the finish line — really special emotions.”
