Come take a peek at our Team INEOS swag from Grand Tours past! We've got a pretty tidy collection of signed jerseys and a pretty special set of awards, let's take a closer look... 2015 Team Sky Jersey signed by Chris Froome Despite starting the year off with a bad chest infection which meant him missing some of the season openers like Tirreno-Adriatico and crashing at La Fleche Wallonne, Chris Froome went on to win Le Tour GC for the second time (see below). He also received an OBE from the Queen for his services to cycling. Yellow Jersey signed by Chris...
Ever fancied speed-dating one of our Muc-Off athletes? Well this is probably as close as you’ll ever get to do this… Welcome to ‘Getting Muc-y with…’, our brand-new series where we dive into their world and ask them the all-important questions (all the while satisfying your short attention span). This week, we catch up with motocross superstar Jake Shipton. Could you describe yourself in three words for those who don’t know you (yet)? NEVER EVER SERIOUS What’s your typical morning routine?

Well this is probably as close as you’ll ever get to do this… Welcome to ‘Getting Muc-y with…’, our brand-new series where we dive into their world and ask them the all-important questions (all the while satisfying your short attention span). This week, we catch up with the one and only Tahnee Seagrave. Tahnee should need no introduction, but for those who just don’t know (seriously?), here goes. We call her the Princess of Downhill, because she loves pink (like us), and along with a handful of other riders, dominates the world of...
Phase one of Le Tour De France is now done and dusted, and with that the riders have completed around half the overall mileage of this year’s edition already. While the long flat early stages have allowed the sprinters to rack up some valuable points, Stage 6 (which ended on the steepest climb yet) was very revealing in showing some of the riders’ true form and potential for the overall win. Geraint Thomas, who is defending his 2018 title, was one of them. His heroic comeback in La Planche Des Belles Filles (scraping a 4min gap with 6km to go)...
23 days, 21 stages, 218 riders covering 3,480 km each. It’s time for the biggest race of them all: Le Tour de France is now underway! In the run up to the Grand Depart in Brussels we caught up with Team INEOS to get an insight into some of the behind-the-scenes stats for their lap of France. From bikes to bidons, you'll be surprised at how much is involved in keeping the team performing at its best during the three week event. Nano Tech Bike Cleaner: 40L of Bike Cleaner sounds like a lot to lug around France! Thankfully the team is using our...
Last weekend saw the 20th edition of the Mountain Of Hell take place in Les 2 Alpes, France. As mentioned before (right here), this race not only features the highest glacier start in the world at 3,500 metres but is also the only race of its kind to feature a “mass start”, where all 1,000+ riders start from the top at the same time. Muc-Off was an official sponsor of the event and with such an exciting line-up ahead we decided to fly down from the UK to support our French distributors Race Company and cheer our Muc-Off supported racers on...

Well this is probably as close as you’ll ever get to do this… Welcome to ‘Getting Muc-y with…’, our brand-new series where we dive into their world and ask them the all-important questions (all the while satisfying your short attention span). Today we catch up with Duncan Shaw, trials extraordinaire and full-time stuntman for the Drop and Roll Tour. Duncan’s one of the nicest and most handsome Scottish blokes you’ll ever meet, hands down. He’s also pretty handy on anything two-wheeled. Could you describe yourself in three words for those who don’t...
Developed originally for Bradley Wiggins’ Hour Record in 2015, the nanotube chain (NTC) process is the culmination of thousands of hours of research and development into drivetrain optimisation by Dr Martin Mathias AKA ‘Doctor M’ and Muc-Off MD Alex Trimnell AKA ‘Mad Developer’. For special occasions like the Tour De France, the guys at Team INEOS send their chains over to us for the full NTC treatment. Here’s a run-down of the process step-by-step. STEP 1 Doctor M runs one of the chains through the Muc-Off dynamometer using a simulated load specific to a road-race to measure its performance pre-treatment. STEP...

Well this is probably as close as you’ll ever get to do this… Welcome to ‘Getting Muc-y with…’, our brand-new series where we dive into their world and ask them the all-important questions (all the while satisfying your short attention span). First on the hit list is none other than Ben Deakin, aka The Deakinator, aka our longest-serving athlete ever (a mere 15 years or so). Get acquainted with one of the South Coast’s most notorious downhill racers turned YouTube sensation. #OiOi! 1. Could you describe yourself in three words for those...
This weekend we’re heading off to France to attend the nation’s most famous marathon downhill event: Mountain of Hell. Much like the famed Megavalanche, this race starts in the snow, at sky high altitude, and puts all riders involved to the test over its 25km long and 2,500m high technical downhill track. We catch up with Flo Baladier, Customer Service Manager at Raceco (our French distributors), to find out more about what is sure to become a weekend to remember. He should know as he came 4th in the 2018 edition! 1. Hey Flo, thanks for chatting to us. Let’s start...
A weekend full of highs and lows… It was wet and wild this weekend in Fort Bill, but it's fair to say the atmosphere was electrifying as always. Whilst the extremely muddy conditions took out a few of the top names, a few others thrived on the difficulty and put on performances to remember. With his extraordinary second place, Troy Brosnan takes the leader’s jersey going into Leogang next weekend. His final run was nothing short of insane, scraping 3.6 seconds off Finn Iles’ time. If it wasn’t for Amaury Pierron going full beast mode, he’d had brought it home… A tough weekend...

This weekend is going to be a busy one for Muc-Off. Alongside supporting Sky Racing Team VR46 at the MotoGP in Jerez and Scott Redding at Round 2 of the Bennetts British Superbikes Championship in Oulton Park, we’ll also have a team present in Brevard, NC for the ROAM Bike Fest.

Roam Bike Fest is the world’s first, and largest, women’s mountain bike festival. It...

Following our recent partnership launch with Scott Redding, we’d like to extend our stoke levels with the following announcement: Muc-Off signs Sam Pilgrim! Sam Pilgrim needs no introduction, but if you insist, then here it is. Originally from Colchester in Essex, Sam started off as a 14-year-old Dirt Jumper, messing around with his mates at local events. Fast forward a couple of years and he was already traveling the world and winning international competitions, including King of Dirt in Austria, fast becoming one of the world’s most recognised freestyle riders. After dominating the FMB World Tour, with Martin Soderstrom and...
Crankworx’ first of three stops saw the world’s best mountain bikers descend on Kelly McGazza’s home turf of Rotorua, New Zealand for an explosive season opener. “The ultimate experience in mountain biking” is what the event describes itself as, and we couldn’t agree more. Spanning across the majority of the MTB spectrum, Crankworx provides maximum entertainment whether you’re into endurance, style, speed or all of the above. We’re lucky to count some of the world’s best in our team, and it was epic to see the Muc-Off contingency put up a solid appearance throughout the weekend. Our highlight story was...
We're stoked to announce we have signed Scott Redding to represent Muc-Off on the 2019 British Superbikes Series this year. Scott has two elite MotoGP class podiums to his name and will bring a wealth of experience to his BSB debut in Silverstone on April 19th. He is the most high-profile rider to be signed to BSB in years and we couldn’t be more excited to see how he performs. Scott Redding: “To join Muc-Off for the 2019 season is actually amazing for me, as it’s a product I’ve used for many years. They were always a brand I’d dreamed...
As we re-stocked our Indoor Training Series last week, and the weather turned sour (yet again), we thought we’d make the most of the Indoor Training hype to extract some valuable information from you guys. We ran a poll on Instagram Stories and wanted to know one thing (well five): what are the 5 pain cave essentials you just cannot live without? The result? Actual scientific proof (we have graphs!) of the things you NEED in order to be able to call your pain cave ‘legit’. 1. Indoor Training Kit It goes without saying, and actually we’re pretty surprised some...
