Uno-X Pro Cycling Team

[Mayomaniac]

Nice to see a pct team with a strong regional identity winning instead one of the big globalist ones.

I was so scared VDP could catch them. it would have sucked so much. great win for Uno-X and Abrahamsen

So, Uno-X (the company) has been running an ad on Danish and Norwegian TV2:

(Yeah, doesn't make any sense if you don't speak Danish or Norwegian (or possibly Swedish)... and even then; it's weird!)

And... kinda had me wondering: How many confused looks from passer-bys did they get?
Just imagine; you're heading to your local Uno-X station to fuel your car and... you come across that.

What a Tour!

- historical first stage win
- 6th GC (best Tour GC for a 2nd division team since Voeckler in 2010?)
- cemented themselves on @Red Rick ‘s blacklist

The only miss were a little bit of lack of success in the sprints (but Wærenskjold 3rd and 4th were decent) and that Magnus Cort was almost invisible the entire Tour because of sickness.

I’d give them 9,5/10 based on realistic expectations and hope.

if you don't count Quintana 2022, yeah. Arkea was still PCT back then.

how, why?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

how, why?

Pulling in the wind (which wasnt strong enough to create echelons) on the stage where MvdP and Rickart were in the break, plus pulling to increase gap to Vaquelin on stage 19 when Roglic was on the attack. The term "Loser team" was used

The ladies really haven't been having a great Tour, only Beekhuis and Zanetti making it to the final stage.

Bystrøm, Tjøtta and Storm Ingebrigtsen will transfer to Uno-X, but I think they need some bigger and bolder signings to keep progressing. Kristoff retiring should free some funds.

I wonder if they are trying Tobias Lund, who seems to be finishing contract with Picnic. It would be a great fit for their classics schedule. More than just bigger and bolder, they need some experienced riders to help their younger team members with what will be an increasingly WT schedule, riders with multiple GTs in their legs. My suggestions: Asgreen, Juul-Jensen; joker: Tobias Lund.

Everything indicates that Tobias Lund is going to Decathlon and that the contract is already signed. I think the remaining Danes on the wish list is Asgreen, Foldager and potentially Honore and Hellemose.

Just sign Vingegaard, Mads P and Skjelmose.

They clearly made a mistake in letting Niklas Larsen go.

 

[search]

not sure. Larsen found his niche in .2 racing where an attacking style is more often rewarded, but Uno-X doesn't do those races anyway.

But there's indeed not much point in recruiting only riders that would otherwise struggle to find a job at this level anyway instead

 

[laarsland]

Hope Løland gets an extension. Been showing same signs as in the U23-ranks of being a reliable teammate for for fast finishers as well as having good kick himself from reduced groups.

 

[pastronef]

how's the chase of the WT license? can they surpass Cofidis? have they?

I believe Foldager has renewed with Jayco.

Pretty good day.
