Q36.5 PRO CYCLING TEAM
Since the 1950s, Breitling has been the official timekeeper of the greatest races on the cycling calendar, including the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia. A personal passion of third-generation founder Willy Breitling, this speed-driven sport went hand in hand with the company's high-precision chronographs.
Today, Breitling continues this long tradition with its sponsorship of the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, a squad on a mission to become a WorldTour-level team by 2026.
MEET THE SQUAD
Representing 13 nationalities, the Swiss-registered 24-rider team is led by veteran general manager Douglas Ryder and advised by the legendary Vincenzo Nibali – one of only seven riders to have won all three Grand Tours. Riders new to the ProTour include Negasi Haylu Abreha of Ethiopia, Walter Calzoni and Nicolò Parsini of Italy, Corey Davis of the United States, and Filippo Colombo of Switzerland, who will also race mountain bikes. The team also counts on the experience of Gianluca Brambilla, Jack Bauer, Damien Howson and Tobias Ludvigsson – all veteran riders with 10 or more seasons on the WorldTour.
ON ROUTE TO THE WORLDTOUR
With the signing of the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, Breitling is once again adding its expertise to the world of professional cycling, a sport where endurance is everything and whose participants live for the next goal. Follow along as the season takes them to some of Europe’s most beautiful and prestigious races, including the Strade Bianche (Italy), Tour of Flanders (Belgium), Milan Sanremo (Italy), Tirreno Adriatico (Italy), Amstel Gold Race (Netherlands) and our home race, the Tour de Suisse (Switzerland).
ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE, ELEVATED STYLE
Look out for the ProTeam team, dressed in Breitling branded gear, wearing the Breitling Endurance Pro on their wrists. This ultra-light watch was designed for high-performance athletes, but it also functions as a stylish sports chronograph for everyday wear. It's made of Breitlight®, a material nearly six times lighter than stainless steel, and is powered by Breitling's Caliber 82, a COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ movement that delivers exceptional precision.
