Pinarello enter Women's WorldTour for first time with Roland Cycling 

, with the Treviso-based brand announced as the official bike partner of Swiss WorldTeam 

It was a move that had been expected since the team's riders had been spotted riding the bikes in training, not to mention 

the addition of the Pinarello logo to the team's kit for 2024

, but Monday's announcement is a landmark moment for the brand.

Fausto Pinarello, the brand's figurehead and son of Cicli Pinarello founder Giovanni Pinarello, spoke of his delight at the news that the Italian bikes would be seen at the top tier of women's cycling for the very first time in history.

“It’s a proud moment for us to be making our debut in the UCI Women’s WorldTour, and an historic milestone as well," he said.

“We’re delighted to be supplying the Roland Cycling Team throughout 2024 as their passion for racing and continuous pursuit of excellence matches our own, and we look forward to seeing them in action on our bikes in the sport’s biggest races."

For Roland Cycling, the partnership is an important one, with Pinarello replacing 

 as their bike manufacturer following the withdrawal of support from Israel-Premier Tech over the winter. Formerly known as 

, the team enjoyed one season linked to the men's 

 squad and sharing Factor as a bike supplier, before Israel Cycling, Premier Tech and Roland went their separate ways ahead of 2024.

Despite losing two title sponsors for this season, Roland Cycling have done well to garner the support of one of cycling's most prestigious brands, and the team's general manager Ruben Contreras admitted he was particularly pleased with the announcement, which will see the Swiss side ride on Pinarello Dogma F bikes throughout the season. 

“We’re able to compete in the UCI Women’s WorldTour thanks to our motivated riders, professional staff, and incredible sponsors who have thrown their support behind women’s cycling. We’re delighted to be working with Pinarello in 2024 and it’s a dream come true for me personally, as in my opinion, they are the best bike brand in the world.”

Pinarello to make Women's WorldTour debut at UAE Tour 

Pinarello has never supplied bikes to a Womens WorldTour team before. Until 2023, they supplied bikes to the team currently known as 

, but that was before the team achieved WorldTour status, and when they were known as NXTG by Experza.

Pinarello has supplied bikes for UCI Women's Continental outfit 

 for well over a decade. This partnership will continue in 2024, but in Roland Cycling, Pinarello has found a team which will sport its bikes in all the biggest races on the calendar.
