Italy-based cycling apparel specialist Alé has renewed its partnership with the Bianchi Pro Triathlon Team (formerly BMC Pro Triathlon Team) for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
The elite squad led by CEO Bob De Wolf will officially compete under the name Bianchi Pro Triathlon this year and beyond. Verona-based brand, Alé, will supply technical race apparel and trisuits to all six athletes on the roster for the next two seasons.
Over the years the team has established itself as a competitive force in international professional triathlon. With Bianchi joining as the title sponsor, the project is entering a new phase of evolution that includes a fresh visual identity for the 2026 season.
The 2026 roster features an international line-up:
- Daisy Davies (Great Britain)
- Cameron Main (Great Britain)
- Finn Grosse-Freese (Germany)
- Miguel Hidalgo (Brazil)
- Antonio Benito López (Spain)
- Laura Madsen (Denmark)
Founded in 2014, the team has secured over 150 victories and more than 300 podium finishes. Its history includes an IRONMAN World Championship title in Kona, as well asOlympic medals and podiums across major professional series such as those from World Triathlon and the T100 Triathlon World Tour (PTO).
For the upcoming two years, Alé will provide garments from its PR-R 2.0 line, which is developed for professional competition. The brand’s high-performance race suits are engineered for aerodynamic efficiency, breathability, and fast drying. According to the company, body-mapped fabrics are used to ensure a second-skin fit to enhance comfort and transitions.
The new kit design is inspired by the title sponsor, featuring graphic elements in the iconic Bianchi celeste colourway on the front and back panels.
