Cheap Velogames points though so we'll take it.

19yo Joel Mellby 15th, a great result. Riding for Lucky Sport, an interesting Conti project from ๐ธ๐ช that builds up swedish talents who come through the Svealand youth teams.
In their 2nd year they took a big step in quality & calendar. Mellby, Reinhold, Kurits, De Luca, Ekman all good talents!

Louis Hardouin is a rider to watch. Stepping up from the amateurs into the Conti ranks after winning the Directvelo Amateur Challenge in 2025 and adjusting fast!
Great first race for Magagnotti with the pro's today.
Speed is there, will get him some wins with the U23s this year!
Mathys Rondel one of the prime candidates to have a proper breakout season and establish himself among the GC riders.
Maybe not yet in a Grand Tour but definitely in the harder one-week races.
Finally confirmed that Magdalena Leis has signed for UAE-ADQ Development Team.
She was 2nd at last year Junior Euro ITT confirming her strengths as a TTer and rouleur. Given she only got a one-year deal let's hope she can impress and has a good development this year.

Would make sense that Caja-Rural gets the Tour invite as well after being invited to Auvergne-Rhone Alpes (Dauphinรฉ) today.
Would be a big dissapointment for Unibet after many thought they seemed like a lock already.
Promising debut among the Elites for first year U23 Moritz Mauss today. Held his own in tough conditions & the trust from the team seems to be there as well.
Little shout for Paul-Felix Petry as well who finished ahead of all of his experienced teammates. Missed lots of racing last year, promising!
Some news on the Thรผringen Rundfahrt:
- Women Cycling Day one-day to be held in Erfurt this year
- goals of a three-day stage race in 2027, back to six days in 2028
- there will be a petition to the Thuringian State Parliament to get support from politics

Great ride by Pescador today and especially Henrique Bravo.
Brazilian MTBer who instantly won one of Spains most prestigious Junior stage races when he came over to Europe in 2024.
Got picked up by Soudal to their Dev program and has been developing really good ever since. One to follow this year!
The newly published Rad-Bundesliga calendar for 2026.
All categories with some new races and Women/Juniors with a nice new triple header in Baden-Wรผrttemberg in May.
New races in Trier, Montabaur and Langenweisbach & the return of Sebnitz for the Men.

Interested to see if Decathlons neo-pro Antoine L'Hote is able to be up there tomorrow or the day after.
Great puncheur in the making who had a really good ride in Denmark last year and podiumed U23 Lombardia.
One of the riders to step into the Godon/Tronchon shaped hole in the team this year.
Nice way to kick off the season for Justyna Czapla at Tour Down Under.
14th and the winning the white jersey, on a pretty punchy climb that doesn't suit her perfectly. Hopefully this will lead to her getting some more chances to ride for herself in the smaller stage races later in the year.

10th national champs title for Meisen who put in a fast last lap to get rid of Hannes Degenkolb (3rd) and beats Fabian Eder in the final to 2nd.

No surprises at the German CX champs for women with Judith Krahl winning her 2nd Elite title comfortably. MTBer Sina van Thiel 2nd in a close battle with Theresia Schenk.
Jule Mรคrkl dominates the U23 race as expected while Klara Dworatzek retains her Junior title with favourite Bieberle not here.
Screenshot of the results of the male Junior German CX Champs. Niclas Look wins with Alwin Beyer 2nd and Luan Elsรครer 3rd.
Niclas Look is the new German Junior CX champ!
Two years after winning in the U17 he now also wins the Junior race. Alwin Beyer in 2nd and pre-race favourite Luan Elsรครer in 3rd complete the podium.

Beat multiple Jayco riders as a Conti team, great racing by them and finished off perfectly by Eddie and Bleddyn.

Another setback for Eekhoff, can't catch a break.
And the team loses their best classics rider for the first half of the year. Big blow to their points tally already..

๐Nahom Efriem -> Bike Aid
Nahom Efriem is the last new rider for Bike Aid and is a very talented Junior stepping up to the Elite.
Efriem is Eritrean Junior champ and finished 11th in the elite group at the worlds road race among the best Juniors. A great talent for hard and hilly races.

Ja, das denke ich mir auch. Mal sehen, hoffentlich gibt's da bald mal paar richtige Infos zu Ausrichtung, Programm, Staff etc.

30.12.2025 13:11 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0..but its a pretty small roster with only 8 riders, many of whom will be concentrating on the track as well. Not a lot of room to improvise if 2-3 riders are out due to injuries or illness.
First year in a new structure is also a challenge & hopefully the team is able to develop the younger riders.
Rembe rad-net Womens for 2026:
- Lisa Klein
- Laura Sรผรemilch
- Karoline Goldschmidt
- Franziska Brauรe
- Selma Lantzsch
- Hannah Kunz
- Katharina Palm
- Iana Alesia Baltes
Let's see how good the team will function in their first season. They got good mix of experience & talent in their roster..
