If they also nab Gee, that's definitely showing ambition.

They could have 3 riders between 3rd and 10th in the Giro next year 🤯

I saw an old interview with Oscar Onley earlier today and realised I didn't have any idea what he looked like.

Info @Gazzetta_it - As already reported, the move from this season of Derek Gee - 4° overall at last @giroditalia - to @LidlTrek is a deal done. Official communication is expected in next days, we understand from our sources

Lidl.Trek...
One last announcement to make our 2026 roster complete… welcome on board @DerekGee7 🍁

Derek’s contract with Lidl-Trek runs through 2028

Carlton is desperately hoping that Onley will make a solo break sometime (or maybe get dropped on his own from a break) so he can make an "Onley the lonley" gag.

And so am I

Simon Yates has retired! I assume he's got everything out of his career that he wanted

There was talk last year about him calling it a day but I really didn't see that coming !
Every credit to him though..went out on a high Chapeau and good luck 🤞

Vuelta and Giro, plus a few TdF stage wins, Paris-Nice and Tour of The Alps is none too shabby for a rider that had to compete with Froome, Contador and Nibali at the beginning of his career and Pog, Jonas and Remco at the end.

Also his Giro win on Colle delle Finestre is one of "those" stages that will be remembered for a long time.

That is a surprise, but I guess with the Giro win last year, he potentially thought that would be a difficult season to top - was he only contracted for this current season as well?

Shame not to see the brothers out riding in the same peloton - that Tour was pretty memorable.

I wonder how long Adam will keep going, and whether that will influence him in anyway - probably not.
I suspect as long as he is fit, healthy and still enjoying it he will continue.


Curious to see if Simon looks to become a DS or similar, maybe even going back to Jayco?

Unrelated, and not news, but I thought this article about Leo Hayter and his new team was worth a read - it certainly sounds like he is in a much better place, so hopefully he is in the right environment to flourish into the cyclist that, presumably, he always wanted to become:

Article thingy

That's some grit and determination to come back, I'm totally rooting for him, not necessarily to win and move to a pro team, but hopefully to at least be happy in himself and with his career, and content with what he has achieved, and will do in the future.
