TEAM SUNWEB IS OFFICIALLY UNVEILED!

The team operates as one collective, all using the same Keep Challenging approach, together under one name and one distinctive two-striped kit: Team Sunweb.

The men and women were presented together in Berlin to show off their new look, new bikes, and new faces for 2019. Cervélo is proud to sponsor one of the top teams in the men's and women's World Tour, and their feedback will be instrumental in continuing to develop the fastest bikes in the world.

THE RIDERS

Tom Dumoulin

One of the biggest GC threats in World Cycling. A World Champion time trial rider who can also climb with the best of them as he proved by winning the Giro d'Italia in 2017. Tom is looking to get his Giro d'Italia trophy back in 2019.

Coryn Rivera

The "pocket-rocket" has developed into more than just a pure sprinter over the last few years. She has 72 National titles to her name and is the first American to win the Tour of Flanders. Look for her to come out blazing in the spring before defending her National jerseys.

THE RIDES

From hectic sprints to crazy cobbles or brutal climbs, Team Sunweb will have every possible advantage.

S5 - SURVIVAL OF THE FASTEST

The S5 will give Team Sunweb every possible advantage. An aerodynamic road bike with stiffness and geometry working together for precise handling and pedaling efficiency. Expect to see these machines winning sprints or flying off the front in breakaways.



R5 - MAKE NO COMPROMISE

The R5 makes no compromises as a race machine first and foremost. It thrives on punishment and will be right at home on grueling cobbles and the most demanding climbs. These bikes will keep our riders fresh until the decisive moment when it's all about power-to-weight.



LET THE RACING BEGIN!

The men of Team Sunweb will kick off their season at the Down Under Classic starting January 13th. The big and powerful Max Walscheid will have the support of his team in the high-flying opening criterium. He will be looking to notch the teams first win on the ultra-fast S5.

Cervélo will be hosting a meet-and-greet with the team at the expo on January 14th. If you're in Adelaide, come by the Cervélo tent to meet the riders and check out their bikes. You can also test ride our latest S5 and S3 models to experience what the pro's ride around the fast roads of Adelaide.
