NEW FORCE IN CROSS-COUNTRY
2026 STARTS HERE
In 2026, PXR LAPIERRE steps onto the world stage — built on performance, precision and an uncompromising drive to compete at the highest level.
This team was created with one clear purpose: to race fast, race smart, and race to win.
With Nicole Koller, Anne Terpstra and Caroline Bohé, we have three elite female athletes and two male riders, Anton Cooper and Tobias Lillelund representing the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and New Zealand. We bring together international experience, different racing cultures and a shared mindset shaped by ambition.
Borders don’t define us — performance does.
The spirit of PXR — pushing beyond limits
PXR Racing stands for Peakser Racing. A Peakser is not simply an athlete chasing results — it is a mindset. The constant drive to improve. The courage to challenge limits. The discipline to progress every single day.
For Lapierre, racing is not about winning at any cost. It is about the pursuit of progress — with passion, precision and respect for the sport. PXR Racing embodies this philosophy: ambitious yet grounded, focused yet humble, always striving to unlock full potential and perform at the highest possible level.
A team built for elite performance
Lapierre PXR Racing brings together proven world-class athletes and the next generation of top-level talent.
The team includes internationally established riders such as Nicole Koller (6th overall UCI World Cup 2025), Anne Terpstra (two-time World Cup winner) and Anton Cooper (6th at the Tokyo Olympic Games), alongside rising stars Caroline Bohe and Tobias Lillelund, who have already demonstrated their ability to compete with the very best.
Every rider benefits from a fully integrated high-performance environment. From physiology and biomechanics to mental coaching, race strategy and bike optimization, no detail is left untouched. Bikes, components and partner products are developed and refined in real racing conditions — ensuring maximum efficiency when it matters most.
Eyes on the World Cup — and beyond
The clear objective: compete at the front of the UCI World Cup while building a sustainable performance structure for the future. Lapierre PXR Racing combines immediate competitiveness with long-term development, with a clear horizon set on the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Shaping the future of XC racing
Lapierre PXR Racing represents more than a team — it is a statement. A commitment to innovation, performance and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Driven by passion and guided by experience, the team aims to inspire riders, fans and the global cycling community, while reinforcing Lapierre’s position as a leading force in high-performance cycling.
