Across Europe, new participants are joining, teams are getting organized and the first conversations with sponsors begin. And with a record number of applications for the 2026/2027 season, there is plenty of energy to build on.

Growing 

Team Rynkeby continues to develop across Europe. This season brings new teams in Finland, Switzerland and Germany, while Gravel is also growing. What started as one international Gravel team is now becoming three national teams in Denmark, Sweden and Finland.

The concept may take different shapes across Europe, but the purpose remains the same: bringing people together to raise money and awareness for children with critical illnesses. Whether as riders or service crew, in Norway, Iceland, Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe, everyone becomes part of the same journey.

A new season for sponsors, too

While riders are getting ready for the season ahead, work with sponsors is also getting started.

For businesses, supporting Team Rynkeby can create opportunities to engage people around a meaningful cause, while contributing to fundraising for children with critical illnesses. Some support a local team, others involve their organization in the journey, while others put their logo on the team’s jersey and become a visible part of it.

The new season is only just beginning.
Over the coming months, thousands of people across Europe will turn applications into action, ideas into fundraising and partnerships into change.

The bikes are not rolling to Paris just yet.

But the journey has already begun. 💛
