One of the dominant forces in the WorldTour, aided by the sensational Tadej Pogačar, the reigning World, Giro, and Tour de France champion. UAE will ride the Colnago Y1RS, the V4Rs, and the TT1 for time trials with a DURA-ACE R9200 groupset, DURA-ACE pedals and power meters. We are looking forward to a stellar year with this awe-inspiring team.

After several outstanding seasons marked by victories in prestigious races such as the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the Giro, the Vuelta, and classics like Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Amstel Gold Race, and La Flèche Wallonne, the team surpassed 75 victories in 2024. We can't wait to see what they'll achieve this year.

Specialized supplies the team with S-Works Tarmac SL8, Roubaix SL8 and Shiv for time trials. The effervescent and ever podium-present Demi  Vollering recently joined the French team, which includes, among others, Evita Muzic, Elise Chabbey, Ally Wollaston, and French champion Juliette Labous.

Since its inception in 2022, the women’s team at AG Insurance-Soudal has grown into a true contender at the highest level. With marquee riders such as Kim le Court Pienaar and an impressive development program, with Ally Wollaston’s notable victory at the Santos Tour Down Under earlier this year highlighting the team’s pursuit of excellence. The team has also welcomed Urška Žigart into its ranks. AG Insurance-Soudal will be riding the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 and the Roubaix SL8, all equipped with DURA-ACE R9200.

Soudal Quick-Step’s bike setup remains consistent with last year, as the Belgian squad continues its partnership with Specialized and Shimano. We anticipate that the team’s star rider, double Olympic champion and Time Trial World Champion Remco Evenepoel, will receive several custom-painted bikes throughout the season, adding a touch of flair to his rides.

The Dutch team has switched from Scott to Lapierre , opting for the Xelius DRS and the Aerostorm DRS for Time Trials this year. The team has a strong base in Fabio Jakobsen and Romain Bardet, while on the Women’s side Marta Cavalli will join Charlotte Kool and Co. for what is sure to be an exciting season. The team will be outfitted with Lazer helmets, Vittoria tires, alongside their DURA-ACE groupset and S-PHYRE shoes.

The INEOS Grenadiers riders can choose between Pinarello’s all-rounder Dogma F and the endurance-focused Dogma X. However, the lighter and more aero Dogma F is expected to dominate in almost every race, including cobbled classics like Paris-Roubaix. Filippo Ganna, Connor Swift, and Egan Bernal will be featured in the line-up alongside new signee Caleb Ewan,  while Shimano will continue to supply the groupsets, pedals, and wheels.

The Women’s counterpart to Pogi’s Powerhouse is sure to shake things up this season, having signed rising star Elisa Longo Borghini for the coming three years.

Following his tremendous Green Jersey win in the Tour de France 2024, Biniam Girmay has signed on for an additional three years with the French Intermarche-Wanty team. The team will also continue with their CUBE Litening Aero C:68X and Litening Air C:68X—the allrounder. 

New year, new bike partner. Groupama-FDJ will ride with Wilier Triestina in 2025—the Filante SLR and Verticale SLR will surely serve the team well this year. With Stefan Küng, David Gaudu, and Valentin Madouas , Groupama-FDJ is sure to make an impact.

Serious contenders for stage wins, Liv AlUla Jayco will be putting out a strong lineup for the biggest races. With Mavi García and Ella Wyllie, the team has a pair of strong climbers in its arsenal. The team will be riding the Liv Langma Advanced SL equipped with our DURA-ACE R9200 groupset and Vittoria tires.

For 2025, Team Jayco AlUla returns to Giant bikes. Riders can choose between the lightweight aero-all-rounder Propel Advanced SL and the dedicated climbing bike, TCR Advanced SL. With the signing of Ben O’Connor, Jayco AlUla showcases a great deal of potential heading into 2025.

The UCI Road World Championships will be held in Kigali, Rwanda, from September 21 to 28. Rwanda is known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, with Mount Kigali being one of the sure-fire climbs to feature in this year’s WC.

One of the amazing projects to help bolster the presence of African athletes at this first World Championship to be held in Africa, is the Africa 2025 Project. We support this initiative, spearheaded by UCI, to help grow the sport we all love.

The advent of DURA-ACE continues to make its mark on the WorldTour, empowering and supporting talented riders on their way to Find THEIR Fast on the road. Its innovative design and superior performance inspire us all to push our limits and strive for excellence.

The spirit of cycling is known for its share of drama, dedication, and… derailleurs. Yet, when we think of the cycling world today, we see the smiling faces of riders, mechanics, and fans sharing these life-defining moments. To draw a line from each inspired rider, young and old, to the moment Shozaburo Shimano opened the doors of Shimano Iron Works in Sakai in 1921 is simply extraordinary.
