Many cyclists have retired in the 2025 season, but very few (if any) with the career of Alexander Kristoff. The Norwegian has decided to hang up his bike at the age of 38 after one last dance with the Uno-X Mobility team, and with 98 pro wins under his belt. But that doesn’t mean he’s forgetting the sport, far from it, as he’s decided to buy a pro team.
The new challenge in which Alexander Kristoff has decided to immerse himself in this new stage of his life is still in Norway, as he has become co-owner of his country’s continental team: Team Drali – Repsol.
This professional team had been called Team Coop – Repsol for the past few years, but the first sponsor will cease to exist this 2025. Drali, its new main sponsor, is an Italy-based bicycle brand that has signed a contract until the end of the 2028 season.
