This, they might be in the second bracket when it comes to WT-bikes but they're definitely not the worst.

I don't know if Cube is one of the few manufacturing anomalies but majority of all the bikes are made by Giant and, Merida.
[ content deleted]. Sylvan Adams, so the association with cycling is still there in November. The Vuelta concluded months ago and still no complete divorce from bike racing. Scary how long the UCI is letting this linger on.the co-sponsor Premiertech stops its backing!

"Hi everyone,
A quick update regarding sponsorship in 2026.
Today, Premier Tech announced their intention to step down as co-title sponsor in 2026. This announcement was not made in consultation with the team which is why we were not in a position to inform internally prior to the announcement. We have many ongoing and exciting conversations with potential partners and we expect to be able to update you all in the coming week.
Please note, this news, although disappointing and something we will continue to work through, does not change our approach to the 2026 season. We are as motivated as ever to hit the ground running and I look forward to seeing you all at camp in two weeks’ time.
Cheers,
Kjell"

Hopefully a new sponsor steps up to take over the team, there were already enough teams folding in 2025.

Premier Tech has sponsored a World Tour team before linking up with Israel. It would not be surprising for them to do so again.

Of course. On the other hand they might not. Just don't get the glee. Nothing about this situation is good.
Premier Tech have quite the history. Fallen out with Astana and Israel and never got off the ground with Jayco.

One less sponsor is not a good thing. It's going to be a mad rush to get things done before the UCI deadline for putting in the paperwork.

Sylvain Adams have good connections to Rwanda and Rwanda have shown some serious interest in sport sponsoringship. They are sponsoring Arsenal and are involved with Atletico Madrid and PSG.
We know that Adams is involved with Rwanda (and this is in terms of cycling with the Field of Dreams academy stuff. We know that Rwanda is involved with sport sponsoring. We know that this team is trying to sign the biggest African cyclist in Girmay.

[content deleted] there have been rumors the past few months about a potential investment from them in a cycling team. They were for example one of the few real candidates Hubert talked to to replace Arkea, and yes Adams has a good relation with them.

Seems to be confusion over content, context and subject. Race organizations banned the team from races, Derek Gee abandoned his contract, multiple sponsors abandoned contracts and future promised obligations for same or similar reasons. Each individual situation is different but statements for involved parties are available , cycling websites like Cycling News have a few perspectives others are available.
The latest rumour (Ciro Scognamiglio reports, not sure how accurate he usually is) has IPT, under a new name, operating under a Swiss license in 2026.
The same reporter has Alpecin in pole position for obtaining the Premier Tech sponsorship, though I thought that had already been debunked.

IPT will go off-line from tomorrow Nov 15th for a few days, to come back with the new name etc etc
Derek Gee notably not in the list of thanked departing riders, for obvious reasons.

I wonder if that means when they come back online they'll be starting from zero followers on Twitter/Instagram etc? It's one way I guess to signal a new start.
Anyway if the Swiss rumours are true, I'm leaning towards them not having a main sponsor (yet). Swiss makes me think of the UCI and the IOC (plus cuckoo clocks!). So a kind of placeholder nation until a sponsor wants another one. That's my guess anyway.
didn't think about that. but they'll have to keep the Swiss license for the whole 3 years WT period though

Are you sure about that? I've never heard of that rule.
Not that a WT team changing nationality is too frequent an occurrence, but DSM did change from Germany to the Netherlands in the middle of a 3yr cycle I think. Would be crazy not to allow any team to change if that's what sponsors wanted.
