Coupe de France winner Clément Venturini is close to retirement. Before the merger plans, Intermarché wanted to sign him, but apart from that, there was not much interest. For Cofidis he was too old, Total had too many riders of his kind already. From Groupama and Decathlon there came nothing at all.
He got an offer from Burgos the other week, but didn't want to sign for peanuts. His counter-offer was rejected.

Didn't he also reject Unibet a while back or am I misremembering?
Cofidis rejecting him because he's too old is hilarious by the way, can't remember the last winter where their oldest signing is younger than Venturini is now.

I can understand that some teams could find him too expensive, but I can't see why Cofidis would find him too old. He's only 32 and he scored more UCI points in 2025 than all of their riders apart from Fretin and Aranburu, so he's not exactly showing clear signs of being in decline unlike some of those that will be riding for them next year.

You're not. Only reason he's about to retire is cause he asks for too much money. He has had plenty of offers.
a French rider wouldn't be bad for some applause by the sometimes harsh (Arsch
) French crowds.
Will Oscar Onley stay with Picnic PostNL for 2026? 'We'll see' says Scottish rider after interest from 'probably 15 teams'
'It's still things up in the air a little bit' says rider who has been linked with Ineos Grenadiers despite two years remaining on current contract

well, will Onley pull an Hirschi? 2026 PicNic jersey pic, but straight to another team training camp?

Venturini has clearly shot himself in the foot with his wage demands. Cofodis not signing him is funny. Better to give a big extension to the young Emanuele buchmann who will surely hit his potential in 2026 and reduce his points deficit to venturini

Looks like Van Boven and Veistroffer will be part of Lotto-Intermarché after all.
Ineos have made some good signings but can occasionally come off as place for older riders to con a clueless billionaire into a payout. Foss, Jungels, Haig, Hamilton. I bet they’re paying Kwiatkowski well over the odds for that 3 year deal, though he’s still fairly decent.
Onley should stay at DSM for a season, they’re doing a great job with him, though I can understand if Radcliffe is throwing big money.

No, he doesn't post on Strava anymore so I can't see if he's at the training camp. Technically there's still 1 open spot (or even 2 or 3 if others stay devo).

From a sporting perspective stating where he is makes sense but Onleys stock has never been higher so now is the right time to try and get that life changing contract.

Well done to the old man Foss for getting his legitimate mano-a-mano world championship against pocagar and Remco and then retiring at 26. A modern great
Not saying I've seen anything to suggest this, but perhaps there might be personality element as well to him not being signed?

Once he starts riding, he just can't stop.
How did he not get picked up in the riders' names thread?

Is there supposed to be a connection between the "just can't stop" thing and his name?
I know 'Pringle' is a brand of honestly-not-that-great crisps/chips.

Doesn't look like he's at the training camp and he seems to be on an unbranded (taped off) bike so that might suggest he has a team lined up.
Together with Marit the 2 decisions of the merged team I really can't understand. They dont have enough climbers and sprinters and both are cheap. Make it make sense.
