The sponsorship merry-go-round is already well underway, with sources indicating the Ineos Grenadiers remain without a signed bike sponsor for 2026. Now, equally surprising, is news that EF Education-EasyPost and apparel sponsor Rapha will part ways at the end of 2025, bringing to a close one of the most recognisable and well-regarded partnerships in recent years.
Multiple industry sources have confirmed to Escape Collective that Rapha’s sponsorship of EF will end after the 2025 season.

The move marks the conclusion of one of the more distinctive collaborations in modern professional cycling, a partnership that helped shape not just a team’s identity, but arguably a broader shift in how WorldTour squads connect with the wider cycling community.
