Pidcock presents the new 2026 kit of Pinarello-Q36.5

The Pinarello-Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team has officially unveiled its new competition image for the 2026 season. A kit that opts for a combination of navy blue and gold, accompanied by the new Pinarello bikes that arrive this year as the main sponsor.

The Pinarello-Q36.5 ProTeam debuts new image and bikes for 2026

The new image was presented with Tom Pidcock as the protagonist, a major sports reference for the team and a recent podium finisher in the Vuelta a España, as well as the wide group of new signings that have joined the ProTeam for this season.

From Q36.5, they explain that the 2026 jersey is a direct evolution of the visual language initiated last season. This was summarized by its founder, Luigi Bergamo, during the announcement: the goal was to convey the shared values with Pinarello—Italian design, bold character, and premium focus—and to ensure that the cyclist “feels from the very first moment that they are part of something special and unique.”

At the launch, Fred Wright, one of the new signings, appeared wearing the Gregarius jersey and the Dottore PRO shorts, two of the most recognizable items from the Italian brand's catalog.

When will we see it in competition?

Pidcock and several of his teammates are currently in Chile, undergoing an altitude training camp, so the competitive debut of the new kit could be delayed by a few weeks. According to his coach, Kurt Bogaerts, a possible debut date would be the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on February 28.

However, the Pinarello-Q36.5 is not listed for the upcoming Tour Down Under, despite finishing among the top three ProTeams in 2025 and having invitations for all WorldTour events. Thus, everything points to the first official appearance of the kit in 2026 taking place at the AlUla Tour, which starts on January 27.
