NEW SEASON HAS LANDED

DHARCO EU TEAM CAMP 2026

four days in finale ligure with the european collective

The EU Crew came together in Italy for a few days of riding, hanging out, learning from each other and building stronger connections as a team.

The goal was simple: create a space where athletes could just be themselves. Ride together. Share ideas. Eat together. Spend late nights talking about bikes, racing, creativity and life outside the sport.

And Finale delivered exactly what we hoped for.

living together, riding together

Between full-day rides, shakedown sessions and an unforgettable Via Ferrata adventure, there was always something happening. Supported by our local partners at Evolve Finale, the group spent long days exploring some of the best trails in Europe before coming home to pasta nights, taco nights and way too much leftover rice bowl chat.

The schedule stayed intentionally loose. Some mornings meant beach swims. Others meant gym sessions, coffee runs or sneaky extra laps before breakfast.

That balance was the whole point.

Alongside the riding, the camp gave everyone space to exchange ideas and experiences openly.

There were athlete-led conversations around content creation, workshops focused on product knowledge and brand direction, and honest feedback sessions where everyone could contribute.

The Collective is built around riders with different backgrounds, styles and stories, and bringing everyone together in person helped strengthen what already exists online and at events throughout the season.

This year’s camp brought together an incredible mix of riders from across Europe:

Leni Epp • Daisy Quinci • Charlotte Germann • Yael Fourcy • Libby Goffredo • Rowan Martin • Julian Schneider • Lily Planquart • Justus Rudolph

why camps like this matter

The sport moves fast. Races blur together. Content deadlines pile up. But camps like this slow things down in the best way.

They create space for riders to inspire each other, share knowledge and feel genuinely connected to the brand and community around them. Not because they have to. Because they want to.

Finale gave us four days of riding, creativity, laughter and connection. And honestly, that’s the stuff that lasts longer than race results ever will.

Until next year x
