Uno-X Mobility arrive at the 2026 season with a clearer competitive profile than at any point since stepping onto the Women’s WorldTour. Twelfth in the 2025 UCI team rankings, the Scandinavian squad remain outside the sport’s upper tier, but their trajectory is steady and coherent. Unlike several teams clustered around them in the standings, Uno-X Mobility have developed a recognisable identity built around regional strength, stage race consistency and selective aggression rather than opportunistic one-off results.

The 2025 campaign confirmed that this is no longer a development-only project. Wins arrived across multiple categories, including WorldTour stages, ProSeries one-day races and overall victories at the 2.1 level. The next step is not reinvention, but consolidation and incremental progress.

A season built on stage racing and national dominance

Uno-X Mobility’s 2025 results were anchored by Mie Bjørndal Ottestad, whose season set the competitive tone. Overall victory at the Tour of Norway Women, supported by a stage win, was complemented by further stage successes at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas and Vuelta Extremadura Féminas. Her Norwegian national road title added further weight to a campaign that established her as the team’s most reliable all-round leader.

Susanne Andersen provided a second axis of success, winning the Antwerp Port Epic Ladies and Ronde de Mouscron, races that reward positioning, resilience and race sense rather than pure climbing or sprinting speed. Linda Zanetti added versatility, taking wins at the Vuelta CV Feminas and a stage of the Tour de Pologne Women, confirming her effectiveness on fast, selective days.

National championships played a significant role in the points haul. Katrine Aalerud claimed the Norwegian time trial title, Rebecca Koerner swept the Danish time trial, Alberte Greve took the Danish road race crown, and Anniina Ahtosalo secured both Finnish national titles. While not all of these victories carry WorldTour weight, they underline the depth and reliability of the roster.

Ottestad as the competitive reference point

Heading into 2026, Ottestad remains the undisputed centre of gravity. Her consistency across one-week stage races gives Uno-X Mobility a platform that many similarly ranked teams lack. She is not yet a Grand Tour podium contender, but her ability to deliver stage wins and top-10 GC finishes provides structure to the team’s calendar.

Behind her, the team do not force a rigid GC hierarchy. Instead, riders such as Ingvild Gåskjenn and Katrine Aalerud offer complementary strengths, with Aalerud’s time trial ability particularly valuable in stage races featuring ITTs. This layered approach allows Uno-X Mobility to remain competitive even when race dynamics shift unexpectedly.

Targeted reinforcement without disruption

Uno-X Mobility’s transfer activity for 2026 reflects continuity with measured reinforcement. Jelena Eric arrives from Movistar, adding experience and depth across rolling terrain. Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset strengthens the Norwegian core with a rider capable of contributing in hilly races and support roles.

The Italian contingent expands through the additions of Francesca Pellegrini, Laura Tomasi and Alessia Vigilia, each bringing versatility rather than headline leadership. Pellegrini offers development potential, while Tomasi and Vigilia add durability and race intelligence, particularly useful in attritional one-day races and long stage race days.

Departures are limited and manageable. Simone Boilard moves on, while Minke Anderson Solbjørk’s exit to EF Education-Oatly removes a developing rider but does not alter the team’s leadership structure. Maria Giulia Confalonieri’s retirement marks the loss of experience, but that transition has been anticipated.

A roster built on cohesion and regional identity

Uno-X Mobility continue to lean into their Scandinavian identity, and it remains a strength rather than a constraint. Riders such as Kamilla Aasebø, Gjertsen Mia, Anne Dorthe Ysland and Marte Berg Edseth represent the next generation, while experienced contributors like Teuntje Beekhuis, Anouska Koster and Elinor Barker provide stability and race craft.

Linda Zanetti and Anniina Ahtosalo give the team finishing options on flatter terrain, though sprinting remains a secondary objective rather than a defining focus. The emphasis remains on races where endurance, teamwork and repeated efforts shape outcomes.

Assessing the competitive ceiling

Twelfth in the WorldTour standings accurately reflects Uno-X Mobility’s current position. They are capable of winning races, influencing stage dynamics and delivering consistent results, but lack a rider who can regularly shape the very biggest events.

That limitation is balanced by structure. Unlike some rivals, Uno-X Mobility rarely look disorganised. Their results are the product of planning and execution rather than opportunism, and that foundation matters over a long season.

The challenge for 2026 is converting stage race reliability into higher-value WorldTour results. More top-five finishes at the WWT level, rather than victories at lower categories, will be essential if the team are to move closer to the top ten.

Outlook for 2026

Uno-X Mobility enter the 2026 season as a team with clarity rather than ambition untethered from reality. Their strength lies in cohesion, depth and a growing ability to execute across varied terrain. Ottestad’s continued progression is central, but the supporting cast is now strong enough to prevent over-reliance on a single rider.

They are unlikely to leap dramatically up the rankings in one season, but steady gains feel realistic. If stage race consistency translates into stronger WorldTour returns, Uno-X Mobility can continue their gradual ascent without abandoning the principles that brought them this far.
