Rugby League Cares are delighted to welcome Pickups Self Storage as new title partners for the trailblazing Ciclo Italiano this summer.
The annual cycling challenge which raises crucial funds for the seriously injured players supported by the RL Benevolent Fund is heading for Tuscany for the first time in June - and Pickups, the Leeds-based family-run storage experts who have been long-term partners of RL Cares, will be supporting the intrepid riders all the way.
Chris Rostron, the Chief Executive of RL Cares, said:
"It's fantastic to welcome Phil Gildon and his brilliant team at Pickups Self Storage as title partners for our 2026 Ciclo Italiano.
"Pickups have been wonderful supporters of Leeds Rhinos and Rugby League for a number of years, and we were delighted that Phil joined our team for the 2025 cycling challenge in the USA.
"It's extra special when our title partners have such obvious passion for the ride, and why we do it - to raise funds for the seriously injured Rugby League players supported by the Benevolent Fund."
There's been a rapid response to last month's announcement of the 2026 Ciclo Italiano, with only a few places remaining for anyone wanting to join such Rugby League legends as Adrian Morley and Paul Sculthorpe for a five-day, 300-mile ride through the stunning Tuscany landscape, and taking in the cities of Pisa and Florence.
