Bianchi and the Arkéa-B&B Hotels team will continue their successful partnership during the 2025 cycling season by unveiling updated high-end racing models at the Tour Down Under in Australia.

This third consecutive year of partnership begins with renewed competitive ambitions, following the team’s dazzling 2024 season, marked by Kevin Vauquelin’s prestigious victory in Bologna during the historic Italian start of the Tour de France.

For the 2025 UCI World Tour season, Bianchi will supply the team with its premium racing models, the Oltre RC and the Specialissima RC, featuring new distinctive characteristics.

The Oltre RC features a sophisticated color palette that combines the original CK16 Celeste with a metallic finish to create a brilliant and dynamic aesthetic. Already used by Luca Mozzato and Kevin Vauquelin, the new graphics enhance the visual impact. The Specialissima RC retains its matte black graphic theme with metallic Celeste accents and now features the Arkéa-B&B Hotels logo on the seat tube and the Bianchi logo on the integrated handlebars.

The partnership extends beyond the men’s WorldTour team and will support Bianchi’s top models for the development team and the women’s team. In addition, Bianchi will supply time trial (Aquila) and cyclocross (Zolder) bikes, which recently won national championships thanks to victories by Clément Venturini and Amandine Fouquenet.
