Swiss ProTeam Pinarello–Q36.5 have unveiled their new race look for the 2026 season, revealing a bold navy-and-gold kit alongside matching Pinarello bikes. The updated design was presented on Thursday by the team’s headline rider, Vuelta a España podium finisher Tom Pidcock, as well as a strong group of newly signed riders.
Among those featured in the launch was British rider Fred Wright, one of several new additions to the squad. Wright and three teammates modelled the refreshed Q36.5 Gregarius Jersey paired with the Dottore PRO Bib Shorts, showcasing a design that builds on the team’s evolving visual identity.
Explaining the concept behind the kit, Q36.5 founder Luigi Bergamo said the 2026 jersey continues the design language introduced last season, while emphasizing shared Italian values with Pinarello premium quality, boldness, and distinctive style. He added that the aim was to create a kit that immediately makes riders feel part of something unique, highlighting the team’s status as the only Professional peloton outfit founded and driven by Italian technical partners. Bergamo also expressed excitement about seeing the new jersey and the brand’s signature bib shorts racing at the front of the peloton.
Pidcock and several teammates are currently in Chile for an alternative altitude training camp, meaning his first race appearance in the new colours may be delayed. His coach, Kurt Bogaerts, has suggested Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on February 28 as a possible season debut.
Despite finishing 2025 as one of the top ProTeams and earning invitations to all WorldTour events, Pinarello–Q36.5 will not start the Tour Down Under. Their first competitive outing in the new kit is therefore expected at the AlUla Tour, beginning January 27.
