The exodus of talents from Ark\u00e9a – B&B Hotels is in full swing. After the expectable depratures of talented climbers Kevin Vauquelin, Raul Garcia Pierna, or Embret Svestad-Bardseng, another name has been confirmed to be on their way to a new home in 2026. The 24-year-old Martin Tjotta<\/a> will strengthen Norwegian team Uno-X Mobility<\/a> – a return to his homeland after Tjotta left Norway in pursuit of his professional career three years ago.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian rider took a gamble in the middle of 2022 season when he packed his stuff and travelled to France to join amateur team Bourg-en-Bresse, but the gamble had paid off massively. Only 12 months later, the rising talent was spotted by Arkea who brought Tjotta on a traineeship. And after a season with their development team, Tjotta made a professional debut with the French team at the age of 23.<\/p>\n

Already in his first professional season, Tjotta was nominated for Giro d’Italia where he impressed with strong climbing performances.<\/p>\n

With Ark\u00e9a in danger of disbanding, all riders were allowed to look for a new team and Tjotta who had a contract through 2026 at the time was no exception. But luckily for him, Uno-X Mobility stepped in and so Tjotta has secured himself a three-year contract with the team where he’ll have further opportunities to grow next to riders such as Tobias Halland Johannessen – 6th at recent Tour de France.<\/p>\n

Managing Director Thor Hushovd\u00a0believes\u00a0Tj\u00f8tta\u00a0is ready to take the next step in his career: “Martin is a rider who deserves investment. After two seasons at Ark\u00e9a, I am convinced he can become a successful climber with us. Thanks to the performance environment we are building at Uno-X, I am confident Martin can make great progress.”<\/p>\n

Now ready to return to a Scandinavian team, Tj\u00f8tta\u00a0is delighted with the decision: “I’m happy to be joining Uno-X Mobility. I have a lot of respect for the team’s performance team, and I think they can take me to the next level. Joining a Scandinavian team with friends I grew up racing with will also be great.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The exodus of talents from Ark\u00e9a – B&B Hotels is in full swing.
