Last night, six irreplaceable bikes were stolen from our Shimano Experience Center in Valkenburg. This morning our colleagues on site saw that the locks were forced open and discovered the bikes were gone. • Mathieu van der Poel’s Canyon Aeroad CFR—WC Edition • Egan Bernal’s Pinarello Dogma • Fabio Jakobsen’s Scott Foil • Julian Alaphilippe’s Specialized S-Works • Matej Mohorič’s Merida REACTO Team Pearl Design • Peter Sagan’s Specialized S-Works Venge We are relieved that no one was hurt, the theft occurred at night with no staff on site. The stolen bikes are beyond any monetary value, having played their part in cycling history, at the Tour de France, at the World Championships, at the Olympics, and at countless other vital events in the cycling world. If you have any information regarding the theft or if anyone should offer to sell you one of the above bikes, please contact your local authorities.

Welcome to the history books Tom, Pauline, Remco, and Grace. Greatness is crafted from years of hard work. Culminating in once-in-a-lifetime moments where all that passion and labor turns into brilliance, of which we’ve witnessed many over the past weeks in Paris. Remco Evenepoel made history by becoming the first to win 🏅 ‘The Double’ 🏅 claiming the gold medal in both the Men’s Time Trial and the Men’s Road Race. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot would not be denied her Olympic gold. She worked herself through the tricky cross-country track to achieve a brilliant 1:26:02 for the victory. Meanwhile, Tom Pidcock gave us all a masterclass in determination and skill. He rode a puncture but still found his way to the top for his second gold medal. The Australian Grace Brown fought the rain and brought the thunder to reign supreme at the Women’s Time Trial. A stylish, gritty victory that won’t soon be forgotten. Congratulations to all. We’re honored to be along for the ride. #Paris2024 #Olympics

As an active partner of the World Federation of Sporting Goods Industry 🌍, we join our fellow members in calling for urgent action on the growing physical inactivity crisis. Shimano President, Taizo Shimano says: “In today’s global society, physical inactivity has unfortunately increasingly become the norm. The trend in physical inactivity among adolescents and adults is a crisis, with profound implications for mental and physical health. The inactivity crisis cannot be solved alone. “At Shimano, our mission is ‘to promote health and happiness through the enjoyment of nature and the world around us.’ This is how people connect with our cycling and fishing components, and we are motivated to do all we can to live up to this mission. “Tackling such a crisis requires every corporation to take responsibility to positively impact current and future generations. It requires the global sporting goods industry to work in tandem to show that beyond the bottom line, we share a common desire for health and happiness. We are grateful to be part of the WFSGI and are proud to share the ambition for positive change with all corporations and organizations involved.” Click here to learn more: https://shima.no/2Aa
