Lots of teams have revealed several signings over this past week and a half, and several of them are quite meaningful. Lidl-Trek are perhaps the most important, with three signings on the men’s side. On the women’s team, they announced the move of both Blanka Kata Vas and Arlenis Sierra.<\/p>\n
On the men’s side, the signing of Decathlon duo Felix Gall and Gregor Muhlberger. The Austrian duo have raced the Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a both at their top level this year, and boost the German team’s already packed GC contender block even further. Georg Zimmermann of Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9 has also joined its ranks.<\/p>\n
There is Groupama – FDJ who also announced the signing of three riders: Lorenzo Crescioli from Polti; Emillien Jeanni\u00e8re and Alexandre Delettre from TotalEnergies who appear to be more and more likely to come to an end this winter.<\/p>\n
Bahrain – Victorious have also signed a deal with Cristi\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez, ninth at the recent Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a; and Mercan’Tour Classic winner Ib\u00f3n Ruiz from Equipo Kern Pharma.<\/p>\n
Netcompany sits on the losing end this week with the departure of two riders. Artem Shmidt is leaving towards NSN Cycling Team; whilst most importantly Ben Turner has left towards Soudal – Quick-Step.<\/p>\n
Guillaume Martin has signed with Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9; Caja Rural – Seguros RGA have signed Marc Brustenga of Kern Pharma and surprisingly Sergio Higuita from Astana who will team up with compatriot Fernando Gaviria; whilst Uno-X Mobility have already signed one of Alexander Kristoff’s brothers Felix-Orn Kristoff who raced for Lotto.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ben Turner is leaving Netcompany INEOS to race for Soudal – Quick-Step<\/p>\n
On the women’s side there are also pretty meaningful moves. Above all else, the signing of Fem van Empel by FDJ – Suez. The former cyclocross world champion – on three occasions – announced a departure from pro cycling last winter, without knowing if a return was to happen.<\/p>\n
The deal, all the way into the end of 2027, comes with immediate effect and should see her back in the cyclocross field already this winter – having returned from a provisional retirement at age 24.<\/p>\n
Besides Sierra and Vas’ transfers to Lidl-Trek; Team SD Worx – ProTime also announced the signing of C\u00e9drine Kerbaol and Rachele Barbieri into 2027.<\/p>\n
RumoursAlthough only one month remains to the season, some meaningful moves are still yet to be made in the market. Some are a matter of time to be made public, but new potential transfers have been rumoured over the past week. Daniel Benson<\/a>, Ciro Scognamiglio<\/a>, Wielerflits, Het Laatste Nieuws and Het Nieuwsblad often contribute towards a hub of market activity that creates a clear picture.<\/p>\n The previous has reported on three potential signings for the American Modern Adventure Pro Cycling team: Australian national champion Pattrick Eddy; Josh Burnett and Owen Cole.<\/p>\n Tao Geoghegan Hart, after a section of lackluster years at Lidl-Trek, is set to move on with a deal with EF Education-EasyPost.<\/p>\n Tudor Pro Cycling Team is likely to take in yet another classics specialist and rouleur in Nico Denz; whilst Pinarello – Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team may be preparing another big move.<\/p>\n After his near-miss at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, just barely missing out on the first stage win behind Tadej Pogacar, Ethan Hayter revealed he did not yet have a team for 2027.<\/p>\n It is rumoured that he might join Pinarello, a deal that could benefit both sides immensely – with the British time trial champion set to try and prove his worth at this Sunday’s time trial world championships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
