In 2026, PXR LAPIERRE steps onto the world stage — built on performance, precision and an uncompromising drive to compete at the highest level.
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.
The team has three elite female athletes and two male riders representing the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and New Zealand.
It 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.
