Uno-X Pro Cycling Team

I'm kinda surprised that no bigger team tried to buy him out of his contract. .
After he won the u23 WC TT he did get an offer from UAE, but he chose to prolong with Uno-X until 2026 instead. In Norwegian media he did say that one of the reasons was that he felt UAE would’ve been morally wrong.
What really speaks against anyone paying a lot to buy him out is his positioning skills. He simply prefers to sit right at the back at all times which is a big disadvantage for him since it's a big effort to move to the front late in races to do the job if you're not already dropped because the peloton split.
Definitively something he need to work on and this was one of the things that costed him a lot in this years Roubaix I think. For example into Arenberg with this dumb double corner he lost a lot and basically every time there were gaps in the group he was on the wrong side and wasted quite a bit of energy to get back on many occasions.

Yet, still in Roubaix he has the power to work his way back to a front group on his own. It's even worse on courses with cobbled hills where you really need to be up front going into them or you will be hopelessly lost. Not that I think he'll ever do well in Tour de Flanders but some of the lesser Belgian cobbled races could be within his reach if he was better positioned on those types of climbs.

Jonas Abrahamsen has a very understanding girlfriend ... :)

"My rollers are set up in my girlfriend’s apartment in Oslo, where we have a dedicated room for it. .... "I do the heat workouts in the bathroom, so the temperature stays consistent," says Abrahamsen, who trains at 30°C for these sessions. "I lose about two liters of fluid in 50 minutes, so it’s quite a lot. Luckily, we have an air purifier that collects the moisture—after a session, there’s about a liter and a half in it. Otherwise, my girlfriend’s apartment would look very different, haha."
