<\/p>\nHappy August! It is a big month in the world of professional cycling, as from 1 August teams and riders can officially announce transfers. It means rumours can finally be proved or dispelled, and you can start to think about what it might mean for next year.<\/p>\n
Rather than announcing each transfer individually, we will collect together all the transfers in the men’s and women’s WorldTour pelotons here, as and when they are officially revealed.<\/p>\n
Officially, August 1 is the opening of the first registration period \u2013 1 to 15 August \u2013 in which riders can switch teams, with another registration period from October to the end of the year, but in practice, it is the start of announcements for 2026. However, if a rider is to change teams mid-season, that deal needs to be done now.<\/p>\n

The news does not need to be confirmed until 31 December, but those canny marketing departments at teams know when to let things be made public. This page will be updated throughout the rest of the year, as more is confirmed. We will write more about the bigger moves, and list the rest down below.<\/p>\n
