With the expected merger between Lotto and Intermarche teams in place. Though not yet ratified. A silent but fierce fight is taking place between Uno-X and Cofidis. Right now the Norwegian team is leading. Winner gets the final WorldTour spot coming 3 years.

I agree Steve. Loosing Onley would be devastating for Team Picnic. One of a very few really good riders on that team.

Official now. All three teams of Arkea B&B Hotels is seizing operations. Do not know what happens to Anders Foldager next year. But i'm sure if he was going to Uno-X, it would have been made public by now. But Embret Svestad Bårdseng should be a rider the Norwegian team goes after.

Is Tom Pidcock riding on a Pinarello? Q36.5 changing bike suppliers next year?
#gravelwc

As expected, Simone Boilard went back to her previous team St Michel. Also thought Cofidis was the other frontrunner. Watch her have above 500 uci-points in 2026. Procycling is weird that way!
#cyclingtransfers

I believe Movistar Team is below average in getting the most out of their riders. Alejandro Valverde did win despite that. Let's see if Cian Uijtdebroeks can do the same.
#cyclingtransfers

Uno-X is 19 riders strong in 2026 atm. One short of the maximum. New members:
Jelena Eric, Serbia
Francesca Pellegrini, Italy
Laura Tomasi, Italy
Alessia Vigilia, Italy
None of my suggestions. Did not contemplate this move toward Italy at all. Team getting an new Italian sponsor?
#cyclingtransfers

Have been promoting womens Canadian cycling, as a coming powerhouse, for about 2 years now. Didn't see Magdeleine Vallieres winning the World title. And to be frank, she isn't the best cyclist in the World. Is she even in the top 50. I don't know.

Zoe Bäckstedt is milking every U-23 medal for all it's worth. Could be a major tell. But that is just raw speculation.
#Kigali2025

Haven't checked the latest rumours. But if Gee and Lamperti ends up at EF Education. I'd be fine with that.
#cyclingtransfers

Pogacar getting caught 2min 30sec by Evenepoel is THE stat of the day.
#kigali2025

I should clarify my position. To me Riccitello is going to be what Simon and Adam Yates is to Vingegaard and Pogacar respectively. Seixas is always going to be the prioritized rider in TdF. Just because he is French.

This is worth mentioning. As soon as Tom Pidcock leaves INEOS, he races to third in the Vuelta. My theory is that INEOS is smothering their riders in whatever strategy the team is using. I believe the team therefore is fundamentally flawed.
#lavuelta25

And today they signed the one key elite climbing help to Seixas in Matthew Riccitello. Can't see Riccitello winning TdF. But probably a future winner of the Giro or Vuelta Espana.
#cyclingtransfers

One rider i would go after. Providing his team shuts it's doors is Embret Svestad-Bårdseng. Clearly an ascending rider.
#cyclingtransfers

Uno-X not signing Kasper Asgreen, and that is a good thing.
#cyclingtransfers

Just to enlighten everybody. Last time a frenchman won the Tour de France was in 1985. And the winner was Bernard Hinault.

Expect in coming years the team signing time trialists. Team need to learn the in and outs of elite team time trialing. Armirail will be too old in 5 years, thats why, i think, he is let go now.
#cyclingtranfers

New sponsor CMA CGM, a French shipping and logistics company, is clearly increasing the teams budget. I'm sure the teams long term goal is winning Tour de France with Paul Seixas within 5 years. Do the team think that Olav Kooij is capable of winning Paris-Roubaix?
#cyclingtransfers #DecathlonCMACGM

Finally Megan Jastrab has put up some really good races last couple of weeks. Think she could re-sign with Team Picnic. But i can also see her racing for Liv AlUla Jayco coming years.
#SLT2025 #cyclingtransfers

Cofidis signed a very good, slightly anonymous, name today in Kristyna Burlova. Not yet really fulfilled her potential. Assuming she is a fit on the French team she will be a revelation next year.
#cyclingtransfers

Sorry, i was to fast. Lidl-Trek still haven't learned this lesson. What amateurs!
#SLT2025

Finally, teams seems to have learned that towing SD Worx and Lorena Wiebes to the finish leads to loosing. Let SD Worx chase down the break alone if they can.
#SLT2025

Is the Alpecin-Deceuninck team broke or something? Scaling back of experienced good riders. Even more now a two man team.
#cyclingtransfers

With the signing of Zana. Soudal Quick-Step is full, 30 riders in 2026. This means that Luke Lamperti is on the move.
#cyclingtransfers

Decathlon CMA CGM can't/won't sign Godon, Berthet and Tronchon. And then goes out and signs Tiesj Benoot.
Major❓❓❓❓❓
Feels at best a lateral move. At worse a major step back. I'm perplexed.
#cyclingtransfers

Franziska Koch indeed changes team. It seems all the best riders do leave Team Picnic. New team is FDJ-SUEZ. Not the optional team in my opinion. Will she get her chances or only ride for others? My preference would have been:
-Human Powered Health
-Liv AlUla Jayco
-Uno-X
-EF
#cyclingtransfers

If Talia Appleton is not signed by the Liv AlUla Jayco organization... Right now both teams are sliding into oblivion. They desperately need something to get the organization back on track. Youthful exuberance could be one catalyst.
#TDAV2025

Would really really like it if Derek Gee moves to any team not named INEOS Grenadiers.
#cyclingtransfers

She scored 1842 points in 2023 and 1371 points 2024. This year 0. All because of a hairline fracture? Seems far fetched, but you might be right.
