Drali Milano strengthens its presence in professional cycling by becoming the title sponsor of the Norwegian team Drali – Repsol with an agreement for the next three years. The Continental team has been a reference point for Northern European cycling since 2004. Starting from 2026, the athletes will ride Drali bikes, and former professional Alexander Kristoff will join the board as co-owner of the team.

This is an important agreement for Drali Milano, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. Throughout the century of the Milan-based manufacturer's existence, many champions have triumphed on Drali bikes, starting from Costante Girardengo and the Campionissimo Fausto Coppi. Now it's time to look to the future and support the young talents of the Drali-Repsol team. "For us, this represents an excellent growth opportunity," said Drali Milano President Robert Carrara. "Supporting an ambitious project is the ideal opportunity to enhance both realities. The team is well-structured, and we are proud to begin a collaboration with an innovative team with whom we share the same values and passion."

The partnership was signed after long uncertain and difficult months for the Norwegian team, which can now finally continue its adventure thanks to Drali Milano. "In the next three years, we will be able to continue supporting the growth of young Norwegian riders and help them find their way in the professional world. We can't wait to start the 2026 season when we'll be riding Drali bikes," declared General Manager Roy Hegreberg.

The Drali – Repsol Team will also benefit from the presence of Alexander Kristoff, who last October in Malaysia ended his career as a professional athlete. The European champion from Herning 2017, winner of a Milan-Sanremo and a Tour of Flanders, will become a co-owner of the team from 2026 and will be a great point of reference for the entire squad. "I am happy to continue to be part of the cycling community, and I believe it is important for Norway to have a team like Team Drali – Repsol that helps young talents," Kristoff said. "With my experience, I hope to help the athletes and the team by putting to use everything I have learned over the years about training, races, and equipment."
