Bianchi (Italy) - Bianchi and the Arkéa-B&B Hotels team will continue their successful collaboration into the 2025 season, with the team showcasing new top-tier racing bike models at the most important events on the UCI World Tour calendar.

This third consecutive year of partnership begins with renewed competitive ambitions following a brilliant 2024 season, highlighted by Kevin Vauquelin’s prestigious victory in Bologna during the historic Italian stage of the Tour de France.

For the 2025 UCI World Tour season, Bianchi will supply the team with its premium racing models, the Oltre RC and the Specialissima RC, featuring new characteristics and improvements.

Graphic Highlights

The Oltre RC presents a sophisticated color combination, with Bianchi’s traditional CK16 Celeste complemented by a metallic finish, creating a dynamic and glossy aesthetic. Previously used by Luca Mozzato and Kevin Vauquelin, this new version offers an even stronger visual impact. The Specialissima RC maintains its matte black graphic theme with metallic Celeste details and now includes the Arkéa-B&B Hotels logo on the seat tube, as well as the Bianchi logo on the integrated handlebar.

The partnership extends beyond the men’s WorldTour team, also supporting top-tier bikes for the Development Team and the Women’s team. Additionally, Bianchi will supply time trial (Aquila) and cyclocross (Zolder) bikes, which have claimed national championships, thanks to victories by Clément Venturini and Amandine Fouquenet.
