The TotalEnergies team will race with CUBE bikes starting in 2026

The German brand CUBE and the French team TotalEnergies have announced a collaboration agreement that will begin in the 2026 season, making CUBE the official bike sponsor of the team led by Jean-René Bernaudeau.

CUBE will be the new official supplier for the TotalEnergies team starting in 2026

Following the end of its long partnership with Intermarché-Wanty, CUBE is opening a new chapter in professional cycling, maintaining its presence in the elite and reinforcing its commitment to product development through direct feedback from the riders.

“It is a great pride to continue working with a high-level professional cycling team. The opinions of the cyclists directly influence the development of our products,” stated Marcus Pürner, founder and owner of CUBE. 

The Team TotalEnergies, based in Les Essarts (Vendée), is one of the historical formations of French cycling. Founded in 2000, the team has maintained a strong connection with the Vendée U Pays-de-la-Loire development program, one of the country's most prominent talent pools. In recent years, it has solidified its progress with a 10th place overall finish in the 2025 Tour de France and a stage victory in 2024.

“CUBE brings us the precision and innovation of German engineering, but also ten years of experience supporting a professional team. Together we want to continue writing the story of human and authentic cycling,” declared Jean-René Bernaudeau, director of the TotalEnergies team.

With this collaboration, both parties aim to combine innovation, experience, and passion, with a common goal: to train the champions of tomorrow without compromising elite performance today.
