By operating with six Neutral Service teams across Europe, Shimano manages to cover the biggest professional road races in the world, such as all 3 Grand Tours, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, the World Championships, all 5 cycling monuments, all major 1-day spring classics for both women and men as well as many other races on the UCI women’s and men’s calendar. Shimano also provides Neutral Service in U23 and junior races, on the cycling track as well as in para-cycling races.
The Neutral Service mechanics’ job often requires a quick thinking and problem solving mindset. They are among the best in the business. Drawn from Shimano’s network of Service Centre's and from connections within the cycling industry, most have decades of experience within this sport.
In a new content series – Human Science – we will be joining the Shimano Neutral Service team members at some of the year’s biggest races, spending a day in their life as we get to know them and learn exactly what it takes to serve these riders on the world stage when the pressure is high.
