Teams and riders

Ridley’s heritage in cyclocross and off-road racing spans decades, with more than 20 titles to our name since the start of this millennium. In 2024, we launched a new era with the creation of the Ridley Racing Team, our very first independently managed off-road team. Building on Ridley’s successful history, the team immediately made its mark with prestigious victories in cyclocross and on the gravel circuit.

In 2025, we returned to the professional peloton as the official bike partner of the Norwegian cycling team Uno-X Mobility, which has both men’s and women’s teams at the highest level. Together with Uno-X Mobility, we share the same values: the constant pursuit of innovation and an unconditional love for racing. A 10-year partnership underlines both parties’ ambitions for the future. In 2026, the men’s team will join the WorldTour—the level at which the women are already competing. And this is just the beginning...

Since the founding of Pauwels Sauzen - Altez Industriebouw in 2007, Ridley has been the bike supplier for the cyclocross team. In this way, Ridley underlines its role as a 'leading brand' in cyclocross. No fewer than 20 cyclocross world champions have ridden a Ridley, and with Michael Vanthourenhout and Eli Iserbyt, the titles have continued to flow in recent years.

From 2026 onwards, BEAT Cycling Club and Ridley will enter into a long-term partnership. We are the official bike partner of the professional team, providing BEAT with top-level equipment and expertise in performance and aerodynamics. In addition to road bikes, Ridley also supplies time trial, gravel and beach racing bikes, ensuring the team is optimally equipped for every type of race and terrain. The entire BEAT community benefits from this sustainable partnership.

With the Powerplus Gravel Team, the international gravel peloton will welcome a new and ambitious team in 2026. New in name, but built on experience. Thomas De Gendt achieved his greatest victories on Ridley bikes and has already taken his first steps in the gravel scene. Arno Van den Broeck has been active in the gravel peloton for several seasons, knows Ridley from the Classified team and brings that accumulated experience into the project. Together, they have chosen to build their own team structure, with Ridley as their fixed bike partner.

In addition to teams at the very highest level, Ridley also collaborates with a number of smaller teams. These partnerships are established through our local dealers. Continental team Illes Balears Arabay and the Cyclis–Van den Plas Cycling Team — featuring riders such as Tom Meeusen and Wout Janssen — ride on our bikes. We also collaborate with the Belgian-Dutch Women’s Cycling Project, which includes the Citymesh-Customm Pro Cycling Team. Ridley further supports various youth teams, such as Starbikes-Vistabuild and Acrog Tormans. We are committed to supporting riders at all levels and across all age categories.

At Ridley, we are inspired by athletes who give their best every day and show us what it means to ride a bike no matter the terrain. From gravel to triathlon to road, our ambassadors embody the best aspects of cycling and are an important part of the Ridley family. Our ambassadors are carefully selected for their passion, dedication and skills on the bike. Through their achievements and successes, they inspire us to keep improving and innovating our bikes. We are proud to partner with these athletes and support them in their pursuit of excellence in their sport and in life.
