The brands and people behind Lizzie Hermolle's 2026 season
Every race, record, and kilometre in 2026 is made possible by the brands and people listed here. These aren't transactional relationships — they're partnerships built around shared values of performance, authenticity, and ambition.
Official Partners
Merlin Cycles are the headline partner for Lizzie's 2026 campaign — providing kit, equipment, and the logistical support that makes competing across four continents possible.
Based in the UK, Merlin have been one of Britain's leading cycling specialists for over 30 years. Their support for Lizzie represents a shared commitment to British cycling talent performing on the world stage.
Ventum Racing supply the bike Lizzie rides at every race — from a February stage race in Girona to an 800km desert crossing in August. Their background in aerodynamic engineering and performance design makes them a natural fit for gravel ultra-racing.
The Ventum gravel platform has been tested across every terrain type on the 2026 calendar: Catalan limestone, Belgian flatlands, Italian vineyard tracks, California fire roads, Kansas prairie, Scottish forest, Icelandic lava fields, and Andalusian desert.
Questa Chartered Financial Planners are the title sponsor of Lizzie's 2026 season — their brand appears on race kit at every event globally, from UCI World Series races to the Badlands ultra-crossing.
Questa work with individuals and businesses to plan and manage their financial future. Their support for elite sport reflects a belief in long-term investment, performance under pressure, and building toward ambitious goals — values that translate directly to competitive cycling.
Support Partners
OGT supply the nutrition and kit that sustain Lizzie's racing across the longest events on the calendar. Their protocols were central to the women's off-road Everesting world record in April 2026 — 11 hours and 5 minutes, fuelled precisely from the first lap to the last.
For ultra-distance events like Badlands (800km, five days), OGT's nutritional planning is as important as the training that precedes it. The partnership spans race-day nutrition, recovery protocols, and the detailed fuelling strategy for every major event.
Gravaa provide the performance technology that informs Lizzie's training and racing decisions. Their smart cycling computer and analytics platform give her and coach Jacob Tipper precise data on pacing, power output, and recovery across every event on the calendar.
In ultra-distance racing, data isn't a luxury — it's the difference between finishing and not finishing. The Gravaa system has been central to the race-by-race learning that's defined the 2026 season.
Jacob Tipper at JT Performance Coaching has designed and delivered the training programme behind Lizzie's 2026 season. The approach centres on ultra-endurance specificity — building the physiological and psychological capacity for events that last days, not hours.
Jacob works with endurance athletes across disciplines, with particular expertise in long-distance gravel and ultra-cycling performance. His coaching methodology helped Lizzie qualify for Unbound Gravel (200 miles, Kansas) and prepared her for the back-to-back demands of a nine-month international season.
