On Friday, January 9, 2026, Van Rysel Roubaix unveiled its new kit in an extraordinary setting: a former deconsecrated church in the heart of Roubaix. The event made a strong impression with the arrival of a new jersey, a Van Rysel RCR-F signature bike, a renewed sporting project, and a largely reshuffled roster (nearly half of the riders). This highly anticipated presentation symbolizes both the continuity and the growing ambition of a project deeply rooted in Northern France.

For 2026, the team continues its ascent alongside its title partner Van Rysel, the Northern French brand specializing in high-performance bikes. This strategic choice reflects a shared ambition: to build a demanding, sustainable, and strongly identifiable sporting project, faithful to the values of regional cycling.
Cyril Saugrain, General Manager of Van Rysel Roubaix, detailed the main lines of the project for the coming years, emphasizing the need to combine talent development, collective progress, and an assumed Roubaix identity.
A 100% Roubaix DNA, forged by the classics
More than ever, the team asserts its territorial roots. It draws inspiration from the cycling history of the North, the heritage of the Flemish classics, and the culture of tough cobbled races.
For the 2026 season, the objectives are clear: to identify and develop young talents, to progress in the flagship events of the calendar, and to build a solid and competitive team in the most demanding and iconic races.
The 2026 jersey: a vibrant tribute to Roubaix
Designed by Van Rysel in collaboration with Roubaix designer Brian Marie-Claire (Collectif Machine Infernale) and produced by Diffusport (the team’s historical textile partner), the new kit is a true visual manifesto.
The team’s emblem takes the iconic shape of the André Pétrieux velodrome, a temple of Northern French cycling known worldwide. The cobblestone motif, omnipresent in the design, recalls the demanding nature of the region’s legendary roads.
RCR-F: the new flagship in pink and raw carbon
In 2026, all riders will compete on the RCR-F, a pure speed bike with a striking design: iconic Roubaix pink at the front, exposed raw carbon at the rear. The aesthetic is both bold and perfectly consistent with the new jersey. The bikes are equipped with a SRAM Force AXS groupset and Zipp 454 wheels.
The team will also benefit from a complete range of Van Rysel equipment (RCR-F, RCR-R, RCR-X helmets) and three new glasses with evocative names: Vertain, Taaien, and Karen, direct nods to the legendary sectors of Flanders.
