According to Veloclub, Victor Lafay will continue with a different French team in 2026. The cheese has to wait.

I guess it won't be Unibet.

Or maybe it will be Unibet.
Just think of the content as he goes around races, selling cheese to unsuspecting spectators.


Or... it might be a conti team.

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.
