CUBE WILL BECOME OFFICIAL BIKE SPONSOR OF TEAM TOTALENERGIES FROM 2026
CUBE has taken a new step in international cycling peloton: starting in the 2026 season, the German brand will become the official bike sponsor of the French UCI ProTeam TotalEnergies. A partnership focused on innovation, performance, and talent development.
The move follows the end of the long-standing partnership with Intermarché-Wanty. Founder and owner Marcus Pürner is looking forward to this new chapter:
After a long-standing partnership with Intermarché-Wanty, we're excited to embark on a new sporting chapter. We're proud to once again be collaborating with a top-level professional team. Rider feedback is essential for the continued development of our products.
A team with deep cycling roots
Team TotalEnergies Pro Cycling was founded in 2000 by Jean-René Bernaudeau and is based in Les Essarts, in the heart of the French cycling region of the Vendée. The team is closely linked to the Vendée U Pays-de-la-Loire development team and is known as a breeding ground for French cycling talent. With strong performances in events including the Tour de France, including a 10th-place finish in the 2025 general classification and a stage win in 2024, the team has demonstrated its readiness for the next step.
From 2026, all teams, from the UCI ProTeam to the U19 and U23 development teams, will be riding the latest CUBE racing bikes. They will benefit from the technical expertise of the Pôle Performance center in Le Manoir, where innovation and performance go hand in hand.
Together for performance and development
The partnership isn't just about short-term success, but also about building the future of cycling. Team manager Jean-René Bernaudeau says:
CUBE brings the precision and innovation of German engineering, combined with ten years of experience at the highest level. Together, we want to continue writing the story of human, genuine cycling and performing in the world's biggest races.
This new partnership underscores our shared ambition to develop cycling talent, innovate in product technology, and perform at the highest level. It marks a new chapter in CUBE's history, with a focus on success in the world's biggest races.
