Arkéa - B&B Hotels will commemorate an important anniversary with a special one-off kit for Milano-Sanremo 2025
Cycling
Milano-Sanremo is the first big big race of the season and the final test before cobbled classics. But for Arkéa - B&B Hotels it will have another layer of depth as the French team's bike supplier Bianchi celebrates a big anniversary. On this occasion, the lineup led by Kévin Vauquelin will wear special jerseys, while the 23-year-old will also ride a unique Bianchi bike.
"Bianchi celebrates this year its one hundred and forty years of history in the world of cycling. An anniversary celebrated on the occasion of the longest, most breathless Italian classics, Milano-Sanremo," says team manager Emmanuel Hubert in a press release.
"The Arkéa - B&B Hotels team's riders will wear a jersey with our traditional red and black frame, intertwined with the celestial color identifying the Bianchi cycles, to honour their cycling partner on the first Monument of the year."
"This 'special edition Bianchi anniversary' jersey, made by the brand Rösti, will be accompanied on Milan San Remo Day by a unique Bianchi bike, which will also mark the one hundred and forty years of the brand created by Edoardo Bianchi in Milan in 1885. Kévin Vauquelin, leader of the Arkéa - B&B Hotels team, will use it."
"This shirt '140 years of the brand Bianchi', unique and iconic, is the marriage between Italy and Brittany, two cycling lands marked by the seal of aesthetics, character, and passion," the Frenchman concludes.

- I hope Wout can come back. He has had 3 terrible crashes--not on par with Froome or Bernal, but at his level just a fraction of a percent is all that separates the grand champions of this new generation. Even if he is back all the way physically, those abrupt confrontations with pavement and mortality take a psychic toll, especially for a father of young kids.

- We'll see what happens this year, hopefully he finds himself a little stronger.awp26-03-2025
- awp, the way and races he races, he probably doesn’t feel like he needs that many or specific race days before the Tour. His program isn’t very different from other years.Mistermaumau26-03-2025
- No, he just realises he’s not a one-day racer so why should he force himself?Mistermaumau26-03-2025
- Sacrificing E3 and G-W that were planned seems like he was hedging his options and only decided to do it after not winning MSR. Would he have planned to do all 5 and if so why hold back on announcing P-R if it wasn’t conditional? Guess people will get active with predictions now :-).Mistermaumau26-03-2025
- The MTB World title - there is no such thing. However, there are World titles in XCC, XCO, XCM, XCE, Enduro, Downhill......... He's after the World title in XCO, but could probably win the XCC title too, as his record is still better than anybody else, and he hasn't ridden an XCC World Cup since May 2021. Ten wins from twelve races says it all..... However, the XCO course is Crans-Montana is technical - he will surely need plenty of time back on the MTB, both training, and racing, otherwise it's going to be another doomed ambition.wipperman9526-03-2025

- well, paris-roubaix isn’t hilly AT ALL. it’s flat. the obstacle isn’t the hills it’s the cobbles, and what i’ve gathered over the years is that it’s almost impossible to imagine the beating that the body takes riding that course at race pace.OCexile26-03-2025
- Is Paris Roubaix hilly enough for Pogi to crack the other classics guys? Bring it on, it's going to be an exciting show!Ride197426-03-2025
