Bianchi and Arkéa-B&B Hotels continue their partnership in 2025

Bianchi and Team Arkéa-B&B Hotels will continue their successful collaboration into the 2025 cycling season by showcasing updated top-tier racing models at the most important race of UCI World Tour calendar.

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

For the 2025 UCI World Tour season, Bianchi will provide the team with its premium racing models, the Oltre RC and the Specialissima RC, featuring distinctive new features.

GRAPHIC HIGHLIGHTS

The Oltre RC introduces a sophisticated color scheme that combines original CK16 Celeste with a metallic finish to create a glossy, dynamic aesthetic. Previously used by Luca Mozzato and Kevin Vauquelin, the new graphic enhances visual impact. The Specialissima RC maintains its matte black graphic theme with metallic Celeste accents and now incorporates the Arkéa-B&B Hotels logo on the seat tube and the Bianchi logo on the integrated handlebar.

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

The technical equipment available to Team Arkéa-B&B Hotels is:

• Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace
• Crankset: FSA Powerbox
• Wheels: Vision Metron (45 and 60) SL and Vision Metron 91/TTW for time trial
