Carlos Coloma confirms that the BH Coloma Team will continue in the MTB World Cup 2027: "We had to fight until the end"

In the midst of uncertainty about the future of numerous teams in the MTB World Cup, Carlos Coloma has just confirmed that the BH Coloma Team will continue in 2027. The Spanish manager announced that the project will move forward after months of work to secure its future and revealed that it will have a new structure and that two cyclists have already been renewed.

The BH Coloma Team confirms its continuity in the MTB World Cup 2027

The future of the teams in the MTB World Cup is going through one of its most uncertain moments. In recent months, rumors about the continuity of different structures have circulated, and some of the most well-known international XCO projects have already confirmed their disappearance.

This is the case of the Cannondale Factory Racing, which has ended its historic trajectory, or the BMC Factory Racing, whose brand has decided to focus its efforts on women's cycling and gravel. Joining them is the Lapierre PXR Racing, affected by the financial problems of Lapierre and its parent company Accell Group.

In this scenario, doubts had also reached the BH Coloma Team, but Carlos Coloma wanted to clear them up by personally announcing that the Spanish team will continue in the MTB World Cup in 2027.

"And although it has not been easy, although we have seen many World Cup teams fall by the wayside, as I say, after a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of work, we can say today that the team has continuity for the 2027 season".

The announcement comes after weeks of negotiations and just days before the deadline for UCI team registrations, scheduled for this Friday.

"That in 2027 we will continue in the World Cup. I am really excited to give this news because I know that many people were worried."

Coloma acknowledged that achieving continuity required significant effort and that negotiations extended practically to the last moment.

"This week, the UCI team quota closes, on Friday. Look, we had to fight until the end."

A new structure and two renewed riders for 2027

The continuity of the project does not mean that everything will remain the same. Coloma has hinted that the BH Coloma Team will have a new structure next season, although he has not yet explained what the changes will consist of. What he has revealed is that two cyclists have already been renewed, whose names will be announced soon.

"I can tell you that we already have two renewed riders, and that the team structure will take on a new form."

The Spanish manager has also dedicated a good part of his message to thanking BH, whose support has been fundamental to maintaining the project. Additionally, he highlighted the team's role as a training platform and as a testing ground for the development of new products from the brand.

In his acknowledgments, he also included the rest of the sponsors and collaborators, the Government of La Rioja, La Nucía, and all the people who have been part of the team during its eight-season history.

After David Valero's retirement in 2025, the BH Coloma Team had more discreet results and sports impact during 2026, although it maintained notable consistency and finished the year as the best-ranked Spanish team in the World Cup ranking.

It remains to be seen how its new organization will be and which riders will defend its colors, but Coloma has assured that he will provide more details in the coming days.
