After a great run of three years and flying high, winning the CT division, then ending up 2nd in PCT and getting back-to-back promotions, and finally taking a Top 15 in PT, we hit the floor pretty hard last year, finishing dead last in PT.
But the good news is that our sponsors still believe in our long-term project, with all of them staying on board for the 2026 season! The relegation to PCT is a step back - maybe one that is needed in order to further sharpen our focus - and to be honest, it's the right division when you're a Swiss-focused team, looking at Switzerland's current rider pool.
Nonetheless, we do have some ambitions for the (distant?) future, and we're incredibly thankful for the support that our sponsors provide year after year after year! Even though they know that we might be in for yet another - maybe rough - transition season, they provide us full support - to the extent that they wanted to continue the project even when the manager disappeared!
You all know them - but honour to whom honour is due - these are Jura GIANTS' 2026 sponsors:
Jura Elektroapparate AGMain sponsor
Freshly ground, not capsuled! - Jura's slogan surely is known by anyone by now. The Swiss coffee machine manufacturer is our main sponsor - and name giver - for the 6th year running. Which is a long time, given that our team is only about to tackle their 8th season... Jura are committed to a long-term engagement, and hence also went through the (not so low) CT lows four years ago. We also had a lot of fun and success in PCT with them last time we were here - let's try to continue this success story in 2026!
Who would we be without the legendary coffee bean design on our shirt - definitely not the same team! Let's hope we'll get enough coffee again to keep alive throughout the entire season!
GIANTS SoftwareMinor sponsor
The software house based in Zurich has been a secondary sponsor since our 2nd year, back in 2020 - and hence are tackling year number 7 with us. They're still thinking that the cycling world is a great place to reach future players of their famous Farming Simulator - given that they have extended their contract as an important sponsor, that route must be pretty successful for them!
And after all, it's just great to have GIANTS in the team name - just imagine us to have a sponsor named "dwarves"... To be fair, we were PT's dwarves last year - let's try to be worth of our sponsor's name again in 2026!
Ticino TurismoMinor sponsor
Being our main sponsor in the first two seasons, promoting the Centovalli region, the tourism organization of Switzerland's southernmost canton is still on board as an important supporter! Besides the jersey and bike suppliers, they're the only sponsor left from our inaugural season, and we'd like to thank them for launching the entire project with us, and for staying 8 years (and counting?) with us!
And unlike in our first 5 years, we do now have some Ticinese riders under contract - let's see if we can promote cycling even more in Switzerland's sunniest canton!
Cuore of SwitzerlandJersey sponsor
We have been very satisfied so far with our jerseys Made in Switzerland - and so there's no reason to change! We'll use the same jersey as in 2024 and 2025 - but our merchandising crew keeps telling us we'll need something new next year, so we'll see...
BMCBike sponsor
Why change the bike brand if you can have the best Swiss bikes anyway? BMC have been our bike supplier right from the start, which has been reflected in our growing TT success. The team also analysed our bad performance last year, let's see if they drew the right conclusions and can give us wings again...
Wander AGNutrition sponsor
You need some good sports nutrition to be successful - and who else but Wander, manufacturer of Isostar, could be our choice? We will obviously never use the "Isostar" brand on our jerseys, given how legendary this (greatly missed) team was - but our riders obviously still drink it, but we're hoping to get back the old formula that worked much better until 2024!
Stadler RailTransportation sponsor
Our latest sponsor addition is one of the world's Top 5 rolling stock manufacturers - and even though they don't operate any railway or tramway lines, it was pretty obvious to have them as our transportation sponsor!
A jersey redesign still isn't on the table, so Stadler will still get great visibility on our team bus instead - and we hope that one day we can also build sprint trains that work as well as those made by Stadler!
Never change a winning setup - well, that's no longer fitting after last year's desaster. However, the cooperation is great, and the fact that the sponsors wanted to continue the project even without the team manager just proves their commitment!
There may well be some changes - major or minor, we'll find out - for next year, but we'll inform about any modifications in due time. For the time being, everyone is motivated (again) for year #8 - let's rock PCT again!
This is the pre-renewals roster. The roster will be updated after the renewals process is officially completed, potentially during transfers, and finally after transfers.
Welcome everyone to the 2026 HQ - as a start (before renewals will likely be posted soon), I can recommend you to read our latest Team History update in the 2025 HQ! Given that the 2026 HQ is finally here, I suppose no-one would read that otherwise - but if you're interested in how we managed to get 100 wins in our first 7 years (and other fun numbers), this is the place to go
