Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe head into the 2026 season together with Specialized with a new look that fully preserves the team’s identity. The new jersey is not just an aesthetic update, but another step in a coherent evolution linked to the team’s recent history. Next season, the squad will line up with an impressive Big Three: Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic and Florian Lipowitz.
The design is the result of a collaboration with Specialized and is inspired by the world of aviation, a central element of Red Bull’s DNA. Speed, precision and lightness come together in a visual concept that conveys performance and ambition. The new kit was unveiled for the first time as part of Project Peloton, in a symbolic presentation: nine riders lifted an aircraft using only muscle power, team-work and technical innovation, as a preview of what is to come.
The new jersey continues the aesthetic line of recent seasons. After the dominant Racing Blue of 2024 and the more balanced scheme with a stronger presence of white in 2025, 2026 introduces a lighter Dynamic Blue. This adds new nuances to a light, airy base that is optimised for hot-weather conditions.
This colour combination first appeared in the Tour de France limited-edition jersey, a design that gained immediate recognition and has now reached a new level of maturity. The deep-blue shoulders are now firmly established as a distinctive feature, instantly recognisable within the peloton.
An innovative design
The dynamic stripes on the front of the jersey symbolise speed and aerodynamics. Its visual language is inspired by chevrons used in aviation, a direct reference to the link between Red Bull and the world of flight.
This connection is also reflected in the presentation photo-shoot, which took place inside an original Red Bull parachute that had been flown by a brand athlete just days earlier. In that setting, junior European champion Karl Herzog, under-23 world champion Lorenzo Finn, and Grand Tour figures such as Florian Lipowitz and Primoz Roglic wore the new jersey, projecting focus and readiness for the new season.
In addition to the UCI WorldTeam, the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe Rookies and the junior team grenke - Auto Eder will also compete in 2026 with this new look, reinforcing a shared identity across all levels of the project.

- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
- I agree that, for Evenepoel, the Euro championship is overshadowed by the slightly off Lombardia and Worlds. However, I disagree that "Ciccone also made a serious mistake at the European Championships" because I don't think he had a win in the bag although he could have won with a perfect bike throw. Guesswork about the finish is not evidence by me for some serious mistake. Sometimes you just barely lose - although Ciccone's sourpuss about it persona was serious.flyer14-11-2026

- Skipping the 2027 TDF would be fine in my opinion, and if so, it further reveals that him racing it in 2026 was a good decision. Seixas speaks confident, almost cocky, these days (not meant to be a criticism) and I find it a tad humorous that people (rather commentators) continually chide and advise on how Decathlon should direct and manage Seixas when Paul seems to be calling all his shots since well before this year's TDF.flyer14-11-2026
- Well I just watched this and I thought it was great! If you’re a Pogi fan, like me, you’ll enjoy it. Even if you’re not necessarily a Pogi fan I still recommend it. There’s plenty of new stuff I didn’t know about and I’m a Pogi-maniac! Nice interviews with Pogi & Matteo Trentin too.Lozza14-11-2026

- they have no expertise with classics, they have no leaders in classics. the classics is dominated by the few Fuori Classe riders where other riders are left with scraps. the Hiring , the salaries dont make sense at all. Same problem as Man Utd. over paid players, egos, very little performanceabstractengineer13-11-2026
