Bianchi, new partner of Team Bahrain Victorious in 2026

The iconic Italian brand has just signed a historic multi-year partnership with the WorldTour team Bahrain Victorious, following the departure of the French team Arkea-B&B Hotels, which had previously worked with Bianchi.

A 100% Made in Italy performance ecosystem

Bianchi and Bahrain Victorious aim to create a true symbiosis between the riders and high-end bikes designed and developed by the legendary Reparto Corse. Everything is based on data, constant feedback from athletes, and a common ambition: to seek victory in all races, from Grand Tours to Monuments.

The team – which includes talents such as French climber Lenny Martinez, Italian prodigy Antonio Tiberi, Classics hunter Matej Mohorič, and young Slovenian Jakob Omrzel – will ride the complete Reparto Corse range:

• Oltre → the ultimate aerodynamic weapon
• Specialissima → the new-generation ultra-light, designed to do it all
• Aquila → the time trial machine
• Impulso → Bianchi’s purebred gravel bike
