It\u2019s been a fascinating transfer window for Jayco AlUla. <\/p>\n

Since the exit of Matt White on the eve of the Giro d\u2019Italia in May, the team paused the vast majority of their activity on the market. Along with an ongoing evaluation of the team\u2019s management structure with a view to changes in 2026, the team paused negotiations with several riders and began to take stock.<\/p>\n

At the same time, they missed out on the main early target in the transfer window, with Olav Kooij moving to Decathlon on a substantial three-year deal. It was always clear that Jayco AlUla were seeking a new sprinter, a fact that became evident at the end of 2024 when Caleb Ewan was informed he had no future at the team after a request was made to take him to Astana. With Dylan Groenewegen up for renewal, there was an opportunity to reorganise the team\u2019s sprint package and segments of the team\u2019s leadout.<\/p>\n

Sam Welsford was looked at during the spring, but Ineos Grenadiers came in with a strong offer that Jayco weren\u2019t able to match at the time. Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Molano was proposed to them, even though he had a contract for next year, before the UAE Team Emirates management decided against letting the rider go. <\/p>\n
