We are delighted to announce two major updates to online.equipe.com and the Equipe mobile app. First, riders can now decide who is allowed to follow their results. Second, almost every screen has been redesigned under Me, from the password‑free sign‑in screen to the new Riders area in My Account. The goal is to give both athletes and organisers a simpler, faster and safer experience.

The new follower control lets every rider switch a profile between Public and Private. When a profile is public, followers are accepted automatically just as before. When it is private, a follower must send a request and wait for the rider’s approval. Any auto‑approved followers that existed before this update will remain until the rider removes them.

To claim a profile, a rider signs in, opens the Riders menu and enters the email address you provided during entry. We use that email as proof of identity and send a one‑time code. After the rider confirms the code, the system links the profile to the account. Several online.equipe.com accounts can manage the same profile, and the user can remove any of them whenever necessary.

Alongside the privacy feature we have shipped a complete design overhaul on web and mobile. The sign‑in process is quicker, the My Account page is cleaner, self‑service settings are easier to find, and the dedicated Riders section puts privacy settings in one place. The changes are visual but also technical: the pages load faster and are fully responsive for phones and tablets at the ringside.

There is nothing you need to change in your workflow, but please remind competitors that the email on their entry form must be correct if they want to claim their profile. Accurate emails are the only way riders can connect to their profiles.

We will begin to roll this out incrementally, granting access to a few thousand riders each week until the feature is fully launched.

Thank you for helping us keep the sport transparent and secure. If you have any questions about the new interface or the follower controls, our support team will be happy to assist.
