Drali Milano strengthens its presence in major cycling by becoming the title sponsor of the Norwegian team Drali – Repsol with a three-year agreement. The Continental team has been a benchmark for Northern European cycling since 2004. Starting in 2026, the athletes will ride on Drali bikes, and former professional Alexander Kristoff will join the team's management team as co-owner.

This is an important agreement for Drali Milano, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. Over the century of the Milanese manufacturer's existence, many champions have triumphed on Drali-branded bikes, starting with Costante Girardengo and 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 businesses. 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 agreement came after many uncertain and challenging months for the Norwegian team, which, thanks to Drali Milano, will finally be able to continue its journey. "Over the next three years, we will be able to continue supporting the development 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 will be racing on Drali bikes," said General Manager Roy Hegreberg.

Team Drali – Repsol will also benefit from the support of Alexander Kristoff, who ended his professional cycling career in Malaysia last October. The 2017 European champion from Herning, winner of a Milano-Sanremo and a Tour of Flanders, will become co-owner of the team starting in 2026 and will become a key figure for the entire team. "I'm happy to continue being part of the cycling community and I believe it's important for Norway to have a team like Team Drali – Repsol that supports young talent," said Kristoff. "With my experience, I hope to help the athletes and the team by putting to good use everything I've learned over the years about training, racing, and equipment."
