Posted by Andrew Davidson on January 28, 2026
The 2026 cycling season is upon us, and we’re excited to once again be working with a stacked line-up of teams and athletes from around the world, as they tackle all disciplines of our sport. Across the spectrum of road, mountain biking, triathlon, cyclo-cross, gravel, and beyond, we’ve teamed up with some of the world’s best, who will utilize our power meters to structure their training and achieve this season’s goals. Check out some of our powerful partnerships, new and continued, that will continue to drive our product development for all 4iiii users. As you’ll see, you’re in good company when using our tools as a cornerstone in your cycling journey.
Alex Dowsett
@alexdowsett
A British former professional WorldTour road racer, who specialized in time-trialling, and racked up big results against the clock, including 6x British ITT national championship wins and claiming the coveted world hour record on the track in 2015. After a successful career in the pro peloton, which also included two Giro d’Italia stage wins, Alex has transitioned into a role as a performance advisor, lending his aero-expertise to pro squads and athletes looking to maximize their speed. His deep knowledge of power metrics and its application to going fast is a huge asset to the 4iiii team.
Phil Gaimon
@philgaimon
Same partnership, same “worst retirement ever!” The American, who is some years removed from the WorldTour peloton and jokingly refers to his retirement in such terms, has built an impressive YouTube following through his entertaining documentation of his domestic and international KOM feats. Sharing a combination of practical training/racing advice, product reviews and hot takes on the modern competition is a great source of knowledge and humour when it comes to all things road cycling.
Laurens Ten Dam
@laurens_ten_dam
Former WorldTour pro road racer turned gravel racer, bikepacker, and podcaster. This accomplished Dutch rider counts a Tour de France top-10 overall on his palmares, and now applies his wealth of world-class knowledge and power to off-road exploits. Ten Dam also hosts the “Beter Worden Podcast” (English: Get Better) in which several aspects of improving on the bike are highlighted and discussed with a human movement scientist.
Ibon Zugasti
@ibzugasti
Ibon is an accomplished and entertaining Spanish Masters racer and Youtuber with a channel dedicated to documenting his training, personal challenges, practical advice, and videos of his participation in a range of XC mountain bike races. He proves that being fast isn’t reserved for just the “young guns”, as he continues to push big watts and claim big prizes into his 50’s, including the XCM and Gravel World Championship titles for the Men’s 50+ age category.
Cameron Jones
@camjonesnz
Easily one of the biggest breakthrough riders of 2025, Cameron Jones announced to the off-road world that there’s a new man to beat in the Life Time Grand Prix Series, as he claimed Unbound Gravel 200 and Little Sugar wins, on his way to sealing the overall title. The New Zealander was the first rider not named Keegan Swenson to win the LTGP overall, and to add to the lore, he started the season as an unselected rider, having to earn his way into it with an earned “wildcard” spot. His 2026 is off to a roaring start, having just won the Oceana Gravel Championships in Australia. Expect more big things from the flying Kiwi this year!
Syd and Macky
@sydandmacky
A dynamic duo on and off the bike, Syd Schulz and Macky Franklin are a married couple, professional mountain bike racers, and successful YouTube creators known for documenting their global race adventures. Formerly full-time “van lifers” for seven years, they now reside in Los Alamos, New Mexico, while continuing to compete in enduro, cross-country, and stage races. Check out their videos if you’re seeking inspiration for your next mountain bike event, insightful gear reviews and helpful training tips.
Hannah Otto
@thehannahotto
The current American Women’s Cross-Country Marathon (XCM) National Champion, and an ever-consistent presence in the Life Time Grand Prix series. Hannah has been challenging for wins and podiums in North America and beyond for years, while simultaneously dishing out enthusiastic energy in the pursuit of her goals. A wealth of knowledge in all things related to the pursuit of bike racing and athlete life, she’s more than generous in her social media engagement in sharing insights and tips that will support and inspire current and future generations of riders.
Gwen Jorgensen
@gwenjorgensen
Gwen Jorgensen, “Olympian and Mom,” as self-described on her Instagram account. However, Gwen did more than just qualify for and compete in the Olympics for triathlon; she won the gold medal! The American etched her name in the history books at the 2016 Rio Olympics, taking the top step on the podium. That, paired with two triathlon world championship titles, puts her sporting resume in rare company. We’re excited to partner up again with such an experienced and dedicated athlete, as she continues to reach for new goals.
CUBE Factory Racing XC
@cube.factoryracing.xc
Based in Germany, and home of the 2025 XCO World Champions, Finn Treudler (U23 Men) and Maruša Tereza Šerkezi (U19 Women). Cube Factory Racing XC is one of the most powerful and dynamic teams on the UCI World Cup Mountain Bike stage, with both world champs returning in 2026, alongside an impressive roster of teammates that includes Kira Böhm, Ondřej Cink, Nikolaj Hougs, Ella Maclean-Howell. Expect another big year from this stacked team!
Alba Development Road Team
@albaroadteam
A Scottish-based women’s UCI Continental cycling team, with some big results in 2025 and aims to achieve even more in 2026, as they build toward a future goal of a Tour de France Femmes participation. Claiming a British National Circuit Title with Kate Richardson, and a World Championship Madison title on the track with Maddie Leech last season, the team has some world-class momentum and experience rolling into this season. Expect to see their vibrant kits mixing it up at the pointy end with the best Conti and WorldTour women’s teams across the British and European racing scene.
Buff BH Team
@buffbhteam
A small but mighty cross-country marathon (XCM) focused team, tackling some of the world’s most demanding mountain bike stage races and single-day events. Wout Allemen, reigning Belgian XCM national champion, Martin Stosek, the 2023 XCM World Championships silver medalist, Rosa Van Doorn, the 2025 UCI XCM World Cup Overall Winner, and Hans Becking, multi-time Dutch XCM national champion. You’ll see them pushing the pace and stepping onto podiums at races like Cape Epic, Swiss Epic, XCM World Cups and beyond.
Astemo Utsunomiya Blitzen
@utsunomiya_blitzen_official
An exciting new partnership for 2026, Japan’s first community-based professional racing team, based in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. The UCI Continental cycling team will be a strong presence and great ambassadors within the Japanese racing scene this season.
Andrew L’Esperance
@andrewlespy
With a UCI Mountain Bike World Cup racing background, Andrew switched things up a few years back and began taking on a mix of gravel, marathon and mountain bike stage races. Much like fellow off-road racer and 4iiii athlete, Cameron Jones, he started the 2025 season with the goal of earning one of the few wildcard spots on offer in the Life Time Grand Prix series, which he successfully did with strong rides at Sea Otter Gravel and Unbound Gravel. Not only did he punch his ticket into the series, but went on to podium at Little Sugar (3rd) and tie for 7th overall in the final series standings. In 2026, he’ll be tackling Cape Epic, The Rift, XCM World Championships, in addition to the LTGP calendar.
Devon Clarke
@devonclarke
The reigning Canadian Women’s Gravel National Champion and an exciting new partnership in 2026. It will be Devon’s second time donning the Maple Leaf jersey in her career, as a 2x national champ. She represented herself and Canada proudly at the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships, placing 23rd, as Canada’s highest placed rider. This year will see her contest a mix of North America’s biggest gravel events.
Gabby Traxler
@gabby_traxler
New to the 4iiii roster this year is Canadian Gabby Traxler, a rising young talent on the off-road privateer scene. Having transitioned from a road racing focus to gravel in the past few years, she’s already built up some impressive results, including two Canadian Gravel National Championship podiums, and top-10’s at The Rift (7th) and Gravel Suisse (6th). She’ll combine an early season in Europe with a summer of racing in North America to continue making her mark on the ever-growing gravel scene.
See a complete list of all of this year’s 4iiii sponsored teams and athletes.
