Eddie Dunbar joins Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team
Eddie Dunbar has signed a two-year contract with Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The Irishman from Banteer, County Cork, boasts top-ten Grand Tour finishes (7th in the 2023 Giro d’Italia, 11th in the 2024 Vuelta with two stage wins), strong time-trialling and an attacking style across one-day and short stage races. Reuniting with Kurt Bogaerts and riding alongside Tom Pidcock, he’s ready to contribute immediately in 2026.

“The Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team is obviously a team on the up which is a good sign. They are really competitive in races, take it on even if they don’t win and create a good racing atmosphere riding as one.
When Kurt Bogaerts – who I know well from my time at Ineos – joined, my interest was sparked even more. I know how he works. I also spoke to Doug Ryder on how the team is going and what they expect. In Tom they have a clear leader which is always good for any team so it seems like a good moment now to join with my knowledge and experience.”
“Grand Tours suit me well because I always get better towards the end. I absorb the workload of a three-week race well. There have been glimpses of what I can do but due to crashes and illness I haven’t reached my full potential there yet. That’s something for the next two years. The team has already done some big races, and I hope I will play my part in the future ones. Winning a race is never easy but when there is an opportunity, I am ready to take my chance”

“Eddie is a very interesting rider I know well. He can climb, time trial and is punchy by nature. He has already shown great things in smaller stage races but also won two stages in the Vuelta and has ridden in support of team leaders often too. He is versatile and quite adapt to hard races. I am happy he will be with us,”
Bogaerts stated.
