Jonas Vingegaard considered retirement last season<\/p>\n

\"LaUnipublic\/Naike Ere\u00f1ozaga<\/p>\n

Jonas Vingegaard revealed to Danish broadcaster TV2 that he had been flirting with the concept of retirement in 2025..<\/p>\n

\u2018I said last year that if this was how it was going to be, I couldn\u2019t be in it anymore,\u2019 he said. \u2018That\u2019s also why we changed some things. I also think the team realised that this was how it was, and they could also tell from me that I wasn\u2019t happy last year. They accepted that we had to change something, and we did.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Dane, who finished second at the Tour last year and won the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, now has more say in his race programme and training camp schedules. Following that change, he raced the Giro d\u2019Italia for the first time and won the maglia rosa<\/a>, completing his set of Grand Tour victories. He is currently second overall at the Tour after ten stages.<\/p>\n

Remco Evenepoel moves up into podium spot at Tour de France<\/p>\n

\"\"A.S.O.\/Thomas Maheux<\/p>\n

Week two of the Tour de France got underway today with a tough medium mountain stage to Le Lioran. Isaac del Toro was the biggest sufferer on the day, falling four places on GC to seventh overall, with Remco Evenepoel taking his spot on the provisional podium. <\/p>\n

It was a measured effort from the Belgian, initially getting dropped by the chasing group that included teammate Florian Lipowitz, but he worked his way back into the mix and sprinted to second on the stage, ahead of Decathlon CMA CGM\u2019s Paul Seixas, Lipowitz and Lidl-Trek duo Juan Ayuso and Mattias Skjelmose, while Vingegaad finished 12 seconds back. Poga\u010dar won the stage.<\/p>\n

Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d to leave Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe<\/p>\n

\"PrimozMaximilian Fries \/ Red Bull Content Pool<\/p>\n

Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team manager Ralph Denk<\/a> confirmed to Daniel Benson<\/a> that Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d will be off the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe books at the end of 2025, bringing his three-year stint with the squad to a close. In that time, he won his fourth Vuelta title and could still win a fifth if things go his way later this year. <\/p>\n

Rogli\u010d joined the squad having been overtaken in the Visma-Lease a Bike hierarchy by Vingegaard. He has had to fight for his leadership spot here too, with strong riders including Remco Evenepoel, Florian Lipowitz, Giulio Pellizzari and Jai Hindley being favoured over the Slovenian.<\/p>\n

\"\"A.S.O.\/Thomas Maheux<\/p>\n

One of the peloton’s longest serving title sponsors Quick-Step will be replaced as name sponsor of Soudal Quick-Step team, ending 24-year partnership that included legendary runs from the likes of Tom Boonen, Philippe Gilbert, Mark Cavendish, Tony Martin, Julian Alaphilippe, Remco Evenepoel and Tim Merlier.<\/p>\n

The flooring company will still be a team sponsor but workwear company Safety Jogger is moving up to take the co-title spot for 2027 as the team rebrands to Soudal Safety Jogger.<\/p>\n

US MTB star Kate Courtney signs for FDJ United-Suez<\/p>\n

\"\"FDJ United-Suez<\/p>\n

MTB Marathon World Champion and United States Road Race Champion Kate Courtney has signed with FDJ United-Suez on a 30-month contract effective immediately. <\/p>\n

The 30-year-old, who won the MTB XC Worlds in 2018 and broke the Leadville women’s record in 2025 while racing under her own She Sends Racing banner, had been dipping her toes into road racing this season after a conversation with the US national team coaches, winning a stage of the Tour de Feminin in the Czech Republic before claiming the US national road race title last month. <\/p>\n

Her contract with FDJ takes her through 2028, with her goal being the 2028 Olympics in her home state of California. She’s set race La P\u00e9rigord Ladies on 18th July and Picto-Charentaise on 19th July before making her WorldTour debut at the Tour of Britain Women<\/a> from the 19th-23rd of August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome back to another edition of\u00a0Pro Log.
