With a scorching Bank Holiday round the corner, we are delighted to announce a ground-breaking 5 year partnership with British Cycling and Great Britain Cycling Team.

As the Official Sun Protection Supplier, we will partner with Great Britain Cycling Team across all disciplines to provide high-performance sun protection at the very elite level of the sport in the run up to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, where every possible advantage is crucial. We will also work closely with British Cycling to raise awareness of sun damage and skin care across the board, whilst giving members access to exclusive benefits.

With weather set to be one of the most challenging factors at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, Great Britain Cycling Team’s head of medical services, Dr Nigel Jones recognised the role – and importance – of sun protection.

Dr Nigel Jones, Head of Medical Services for the Great Britain Cycling Team, said:

“Sunscreen alone can’t entirely protect you from UV damage, but it’s a vital element of any skin care routine all year round. What particularly drew us to Pelotan was the quality of their product and their focus in developing formulations that are well-tailored to athletes.

“We’ve taken stock of Pelotan Sprays and Roll-Ons for use by the Great Britain Cycling Team and we’ll be getting real-time feedback from riders to ensure that they are fully familiar with the products ahead of the Tokyo Games.

“On top of the performance aspect, we have a number of things in the pipeline with Pelotan, including sun protection advice for the benefit of all British Cycling members. While getting out on the bike in the sunshine is great for your mental wellbeing, it’s important that you make sure you’re protected while doing so.”

At Pelotan, we are passionate about cycling and genuinely believe sun protection can have a tangible impact on performance, recovery and enjoyment for cyclists of all levels – so we look forward to working British Cycling over the coming years.
