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

Page 416 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
There is an article on Landevei in which they confirm there will be no extension for him. It is behind a paywall. I read the news earlier on X / Twitter.
Thanks! As I dont pay for Landevei I dont always check their stuff.

Letting Eiking go does make sense in some ways:
- Eiking doesn't score much UCI-points (205 this season, 170 last season and 230 in 2022)
- Eiking doesn't bring big results (only 1 single top 10 this season and 1 single top 10 last season)
- Eiking is pretty bad in the phase of getting into break aways (was heavily criticized by media and his team during the Tour)
- Eiking doesn't do much work for his team mates (has been criticized by media for this)

It's a shame, because his potential is good (2nd in Sabatini 2022 and his autumn season in 2021 was very good), but Uno-X is tight with the money and if he's demanding much more than minimum salary it does make sense.

I wonder if he will be able to land another decent pro contract or if he will retire.
 
As rumoured; Q36.5 are gonna be Harmed!

Maybe Mads Wurtz could come in as another experienced figure, yet to recapture his 2021 form but has a lot of experience in Classics and has 4 GT starts. Shouldn't be too dear for them either

Talking about Würtz.
Unfortunately, if he hasn't already secured a contract for next year, he might have lost any chance of securing one in the latter part of the year; crashed out of Croatia with a concussion.

However, I don't think he'll be too dear for any team...

Did Eiking secure himself a contract with some team after getting 3rd on the Queen Stage in Croatia today?
Hopefully so. I mean, despite not being a really high scorer a team like Arkéa which did not have any signing bar devo riders could use him. I would like him back in Wanty though that ship has probably sailed.

Think it has not been discussed here but Milan Vader joins Q.36. Good for both sides.
