The Italian bicycle maker Pinarello could be getting a new owner in 2023. L Catterton, the private equity firm who acquired the majority stake in 2016, are reportedly seeking offers for Pinarello after it almost doubled turnover since the acquisition.

Pinarello sponsors Ineos Grenadiers and their high-end machines have been raced to victory in the Tour de France by Egan Bernal, Geraint Thomas, Chris Froome, and Bradley Wiggins. Filippo Ganna set the Hour Record and individual pursuit world record on a Pinarello Bolide.
