According to the team, the new design will make it easier for fans to recognize the bees. "The kit has been developed as a second skin: it moves with the rider, provides comfort and support in a variety of conditions, and enhances the overall race experience. At the same time, the design ensures recognition within the peloton and serves as a clear point of identification for fans along the road and on screen."
The kit was developed in collaboration with Nimbl, a premium Italian brand mostly known for high-performance cycling shoes. The partnership is not new, but it has expanded comapred to last year.
"While Nimbl was already responsible for the team’s cycling shoes, the brand now also provides high-performance on-bike apparel. With its extensive expertise in research and product development, Nimbl contributed to the new design, setting a new standard of quality and performance: apparel that protects, moves with the rider, and functions like a second skin."
Team manager
Richard Plugge shared some words about the new kit. "A new season always means evaluating, improving, and building further. Our 2026 kit reflects that approach: recognizable in who we are, yet with attention to detail and development. Together with our partners, we continue to explore ways to support our riders in achieving their best performance."
