    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    We need to realise that Jonas has never ridden the Giro and he needs to do it sooner or later.

    Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

    It's staggering that M.Scotson does not have a WT contract for 2026, seeing, he was an important part of Demare's sprint train. Jayco have enough riders for a sprint train which ideally needs three riders to support the sprinter, although you can do it with 2 riders. Gotta remember that the...

    Jayco will run with 29. Holmes will stay on the development team so that is 21. Add Foldager, DaPretto, Hellmose, Englehardt and O'Brien and you have 26. Dont rule out Welsford.

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Urska rides for AG Insurance. The women's TDU will have a full field as the women are unable to skip WT races anymore.

    I've seen Plapp and DeLie do the same.

    Teams & Riders Israel Premier Tech

    Premier Tech have quite the history. Fallen out with Astana and Israel and never got off the ground with Jayco.

    World Tour Wildcards 2026

    I suspect that the Aussie National team will be developing riders ( which it should be ) especially, seeing the ProVelo League has no carrot of a contract with Jayco Alula or Liv Alula.

    You need to conduct tests for the ABP to work!

    Jayco al-'Ula and its GreenEdge predecessors

    Absolutely they need to find a sponsor not that they get much luck from Aussie companies. I predict that if Jerry can't get another sponsor for 2027, then he will sell the licence.

    Jayco al-'Ula and its GreenEdge predecessors

    This has been happening for 15 years. Realistically, the family loses nothing because Gerry's investment in the team probably comes from profits from his businesses. The family still has the bricks and mortar from Jayco, Michelton, Global Creatures, Creature Technology etc,etc,etc which are...

    Jayco will aim for Ackermann to win 1 or 2 races and more importantly get close to 1000 UCI points. I expect he will debut at the Alula Tour, because there is a chance they will get Welsford.

    Apparently around 50% of ABP potential violations are let go because the accused has provided satisfactory evidence to not be charged. I'll also add the UCI needs to be 100% of an ABP violation because if they get challenged at CAS and lose two or three cases then that will be the end of the ABP.

    Ben O'Connor: Baby face becomes conqueror

    He is riding the Nationals as I posted. BOC talks about lots of team support, yet, Jayco has few Aussies on their team. BOC, Bling, Plapp, O'Brien, McKenzie and Durbridge. In saying that, they should still win the National RR.

    Ben O'Connor: Baby face becomes conqueror

    I believe he is doing the TDF which is fine. I am more concerned that he's doing the Aussie summer. Maybe he could win the Aussie nationals, but he's never done much in the TDU, which jayco can cover with Plapp or Schmid.

    Ben O'Connor: Baby face becomes conqueror

    What you say is true, however, he was awful in 2025 with the way Jayco prepared him for the year. Different build up and he will do better in 2026.
