Staying true to its French partner Lapierre, the Dutch team is keeping the Xelius DRS for road races and the Aerostorm for time trials. The big news this year is the new design: the bikes feature an elegant gray-and-white livery, a deliberate nod to the iconic delivery trucks of Picnic, the team’s co-main sponsor.
Another major development for 2026 is the arrival of Michelin as a tire partner. Riders from the team’s three squads (men’s WorldTour, women’s WorldTour, and development team) will ride on tubeless Michelin Power Cup tires, marking a further strengthening of ties with French brands following the partnership with Lapierre.
As for the groupset, nothing—or almost nothing—has changed: the team continues to rely on the indispensable Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 (drivetrain, hydraulic brakes, crankset with integrated power meter and pedals), complemented by Ursus Proxima 50 Team Edition wheels, Prologo Dimension R2 saddles, a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt II computer, and Elite Super Leggero Carbon bottle cages.
