Up the road – meet the new Rapha athletes

[Rapha]( TEAMS & ATHLETES WELCOME THE NEWCOMERS At Rapha, we partner only with teams and athletes who share our desire to move the dial and change the sport. From pioneering kit designs to an alternative calendar of unorthodox races, we’ll never settle for the status quo, and neither will they. In 2021, we are looking forward to continuing our partnerships with our professional teams and beginning new ones with a raft of new additions to the Rapha rider roster.    After announcing Sarah Sturm last week, we can reveal this week that legendary endurance rider Lael Wilcox has also joined us, set upon breaking one of the longest-standing ultra-distance records out there. As racing rebounds across the globe, we’re hugely excited to follow all of our teams and athletes around the globe, none more so than Legion of Los Angeles who have made the move up the professional ranks with ProConti status – congratulations to everyone involved with the team. The Rapha Gone Racing crew will also accompany Lael and Colin Strickland as well as the riders of EF Education-Nippo and Canyon//SRAM as they take on a uniquely varied range of races, from the Tour de France to the Tour Divide.    In addition to documenting all of the action, we will continue designing to disrupt. Before the racing season begins, we will reveal the kits in which our professional teams will compete. And throughout the season, we will create a truly special selection of limited edition collections with our individual riders. From a refresh of Colin’s geological design from last season to all new looks for Sarah, Maghalie and more, each capsule collection will be available early to members of the Rapha Cycling Club.    With all that lies in wait, we cannot wait for the new season to begin.
