The 2026 season will start soon and lots of riders will race for the first time in a World Tour team. This list includes some pretty interesting names including Grand Tour stage winners, Top5 finishers, big classics winners and some of the most talented riders in the world who actually hadn’t raced in the first division of the sport yet.<\/p>\n

A lot of these are from Uno-X Mobility, who have been evolving over the past few years and will rise to World Tour level. Most of its leaders are actually racing at the ‘top level’ for the first time including Jonas Abrahamsen and Tobias Johannessen who won a stage and finished in the Top10 of the Tour de France respectively; and Soren Waerenksjold who is one of the strongest sprinters in the world and has won Omloop het Nieuwsblad this year<\/a>.Lotto has riders such as Lennert van Eetvelt<\/a> and Jarno Widar<\/a> who are from two different generations but are all incredibly talented; We’ve got some of the most talented youngster in the peloton too such as under-23 time trial World Champion Jakob S\u00f6derqvist for Lidl-Trek; under-23 Giro first and second Jakob Omrzel<\/a> (Bahrain – Victorious) and Luke Tuckwell (Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe); cyclocross star and junior world champion Mattia Aggostinacchio is joining EF Education-EasyPost despite just turning 18 years old, and is currently the youngest rider on the list by far.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\nThe list includes, besides the above, other well established riders such as Matthew Riccitello<\/a> who has finished fifth and won the youth classification at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a – he is joining Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale. Team Visma have two slightly older riders in 26-year old Anton Schiffer and 31-year old Filippo Fiorelli joining in; whilst the oldest rider on the list is also 31 years old in Arjen Livyns who will race for XDS Astana Team.World Tour debutants 2026 season – as of 23rd November1\u00a0AGOSTINACCHIO MattiaEF Education – EasyPost18y + 71d2\u00a0PERICAS Adri\u00e0UAE Team Emirates – XRG19y +
