The Italian clothing manufacturer supports the riders in the most important gravel races on the calendar. The collaboration also serves as a test platform for the development department. The athletes provide direct feedback on the fit and behaviour of the garments in competition. This is intended to improve the fit for women. Q36.5 also wants to develop solutions for the special requirements of gravel racing, from aerodynamics at lower speeds to thermoregulation on long distances.
Clothing like the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team
The riders wear the same technology as the Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. The kit includes the Dottore Pro and Dottore Clima skinsuits, which are designed to balance aerodynamics and thermoregulation in different conditions. The kit includes the Dottore Pro bib shorts, Gregarius Clima jerseys, the Foul Weather Thermal Racing Kit and technical winter clothing. The racing clothing combines nautical blue bib shorts with an acid yellow and white jersey. The radar graphic was introduced in 2025 with Team Q36.5 Pro Cycling and symbolises concentration and orientation.
The four female drivers in the team
Alexis Skarda from Boulder is coordinating the team. The US-American has experience from the American gravel scene and will make her debut at Traka 2026. She rode to 4th place in the 2025 Life Time Grand Prix and Big Sugar Gravel.
Maddy Nutt from London won the Safari Gravel of the UCI Gravel Series in 2024 and came third in the Migration Gravel Race GC. She is planning to compete in the Traka 560 and Unbound XL in 2026.
Cassia Boglio from Perth finished third in the 2025 Australian National Road Championships and second in the UCI Gravel Series SEVEN.
Maaike Coljé from the Netherlands is switching completely to gravel racing after five road seasons and is targeting races like the Unbound.
