Well deserved. Say what you like about older riders and devo squads, but he might have had to retire if not for this chance after the abrupt demise of HPH.

Obviously being Canadian helps. There's not too many about of the necessary level. There's really only Leonard left that's not on the team. He looked decent at l'Avenir, but you can't help but feel that he's going to have wasted three important years at Ineos. Will the team try and sign him for 2026?

Probably the joint best Israeli victory.

Glad about Pierre Andre Coté. He deserved it.

Boivin extends as well, confirmed by Sylvain Adams himself. Einhorn will surely stay too. Fuglsang is reported to have extended.

The team looks almost full for next season, let's see if Van Asbroeck or Clarke stay.

A couple of wins puts a rosier complexion on things.

Good sprint after a big job from Frigo. The team also rode really well the other day when Strong took second behind Powless.

Not the best WT sprint field you'll ever see (and some that are here are kinda on their holidays already). The results from the first two stages were rather a disappointment considering the names involved, but this is more like it. Let's see how he gets on in 2025 with hopefully a bit less track riding.

One contender for this competition that I didn't mention above was Lidl-Trek Devo and of course over the ensuing weeks they've picked up a lot of points via Soderqvist and Behrens. That's more than enough to put them in first place.

Silly me. Lidl-Trek Devo are of course registered as a US team. They can have guaranteed invites to the races on the American Tour.

So yeah, IPT Academy do make it into the top-3 European teams along with St. Michel and Alpecin Devo. There should be to need to worry about getting asked to the Baby Giro etc and with the talk of l'Avenir making the switch from nations to trade teams, this could be a timely "podium".

Hopefully there'll be a fair few new faces in 2025 what with 4(?) moving up and maybe that many or more being let go. Only know of the (unconfirmed) Quintero and Pareta so far.

No Pareta after all. He's off to Equipo Finisher instead.

Dawid Lewandowksi is a possibility going by the old who's following who on instagram.

Finally I forgot Finlay Tarling who of course is the only 100% confirmed new signing.
