Tom Pidcock will be back on his Dogma in the new year. Starting January 1, 2026, the Pinarello \u2013 Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will officially take to the line. <\/p>\n

This is big news. It marks the first time in the brand\u2019s 70-year history that Pinarello will step up as a title sponsor, taking its signature blend of racing heritage, design precision, and unapologetic Italian style from bike frames to the team name itself.<\/p>\n

Pinarello \u2013 Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team<\/p>\n

Pidcock and Pinarello go way back. His Olympic gold and world titles in cross-country mountain biking and cyclocross were earned aboard the Dogma XC <\/a>and Crossista<\/a>, bikes developed in close collaboration with Pinarello\u2019s R&D team in Treviso. The same place where we checked the new Pinarello gravel offering. <\/a><\/p>\n

Now, the reigning multi-discipline phenom returns to the brand that helped launch his career. Expect to see Pidcock racing the Dogma F in the peloton, the Bolide TT against the clock, and fingers crossed, maybe the Crossista.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be back on Pinarello full time,\u201d said Pidcock. \u201cIt feels like coming home. I\u2019ve always loved the way their bikes ride and the attention they put into every detail\u2014it\u2019s the perfect reunion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Italian Power Couple<\/p>\n

On one side,\u00a0you have Pinarello, the brand we know for style and precision. On the other hand, Q36.5, the Bolzano-based apparel label that produces some excellent high-performance clothing and shoes. Together, they\u2019re shaping a high-power, racing ecosystem built around Italian craft and precision.<\/p>\n

\"Pinarello<\/a><\/p>\n

Fausto Pinarello, president of Cicli Pinarello, made it clear that this isn\u2019t business as usual:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership is more than a sponsorship \u2013 it\u2019s a shared vision. We\u2019re proud to bring the Pinarello name back to the front of the peloton as Title Sponsor. Together with Q36.5, we\u2019ll push the limits of what\u2019s possible in cycling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Q36.5<\/a><\/p>\n

For Q36.5\u2019s Luigi Bergamo, this partnership signals the team\u2019s evolution from promising project to full-fledged WorldTour powerhouse:<\/p>\n

\u201c2026 will be another big step forward. The riders who started with us are maturing into winners, and now, with Pinarello on board, we can take this project to another level.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bikes and the Look<\/p>\n

The Pinarello \u2013 Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team will race on the Dogma F <\/a>and Bolide TT, dressed in fresh team-only paint schemes that reflect the shared aesthetic of the two brands: sleek, technical, and unmistakably Italian.<\/p>\n

The kits\u2014crafted by Q36.5 (obviously)\u2014should echo that same design philosophy. Expect the same advanced materials and hopefully, a lot of cool footwear.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Stoke\u2014Team manager Douglas Ryder called the move a \u201chuge honor\u201d and said the goal is simple: elevate every rider with the same precision and innovation that Pinarello brings to its bikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Support us!
