Cycling
A new high-profile sponsor enters the WorldTour grounds. Alpecin-Premier Tech and Fenix-Premier Tech have announced a new multi-year partnership with Adidas. The German sportswear giant provide off-bike apparel to both WorldTour teams.
For the remainder of the 2026 season, both the riders and support crews across the two teams will wear a variety of Adidas sportswear, training wear, footwear and leisure wear.
The collection is centred around head-to-toe Adidas ZNE range with embroidered team branding and a relaxed, comfort-focused design.
The riders' appearance will feature a new sleek identity for the teams when off the bike, providing them with unmissable apparel in a relaxed silhouette with comfort-focused materials and embroidered team graphics.

Philip Roodhooft, general manager at Alpecin-Premier Tech and Fenix-Premier Tech, said in a press release: "We believe the strongest partnerships are built on shared ambition. Adidas is one of the world’s most iconic sports brands, with a legacy of innovation and excellence that speaks for itself. We are proud to welcome Adidas as a partner and excited to become part of the adidas family. Together, we look forward to building a long-term partnership that helps our athletes maximise their potential every single day."
Kerryn Foster, GM specialist sports at Adidas, said: "We are excited to partner with both the Alpecin-Premier Tech and Fenix-Premier Tech cycling teams, and proud to see the brand represented by two teams growing in confidence on the international circuit, with a shining light on their worldclass cyclists such as Mathieu van der Poel, Jasper Philipsen, Charlotte Kool and Puck Pieterse. The three stripes brand has a longstanding legacy in cycling that we are looking forward to building on both now through this partnership and in the future."
Not entirely new to the sport of cycling, Adidas has great heritage having powered some of the biggest names and teams in the peloton since the 1960s.

- 'The Slovenian has collected four Tour de France titles' ... '[Kieran Wood's] ... reporting spans the full racing calendar, from one-day classics to stage races, with a focus on accurate, real-time coverage and clear contextual analysis'. i would say that is pretty inaccurate accurate coverage, kieran wood ... too bad that AI's knowledge often lags several months behind ... but proof reading is certainly part of accurate coverage, isn't it? but fortunately does Kieran Wood place 'strong emphasis on careful sourcing, editorial accuracy, and updating articles as new, verified information becomes available.' i would say the fifth tdf title is pretty new (and even verified) information, so feel free to update this article.Ketterechts01-11-2026
- You are wrong, they are already working on his new tt position. And yes, Trump does love you 😂👍🏼awp01-11-2026
- The Erola Jons incident was not isolated. She felt she could do that because that's how everyone treats Tadej. Remember when he said "If I say wait 2 mins do you show the middle finger and walk off angry?" about the supposed fan who did exactly that? There's nothing wrong with the nurses and doctors asking him to give autographs... but do the surgery first
Rafionain-Glas01-11-2026 - Perhaps he has what Mark Cavendish had, the Epstein-Barr Virus. It caused him severe and unexplained chronic fatigue. I hope he gets better.
