The 2024 transfer season is virtually ended as the peloton is deep into the season and into February already. Hence, it is possible to analyze the amount of riders each team signed and 'lost' over the winter.
The statistics obtained by ProCyclingStats show that Astana Qazaqstan Team was by far the team with the most signings over the 2023 transfer period, with a focus on signing a strong leadout for Mark Cavendish. The Kazakh team brought in 14 new faces, almost half of it's 2024 team. Cofidis and Soudal - Quick-Step followed with 12 and 11 signings.
In the opposite side of the spectrum we've got Bahrain - Victorious who only signed three riders this winter - a negative balance for a team who lost leaders Mikel Landa and Jonathan Milan. It is worthy to analyze that Team Visma | Lease a Bike signed 8 riders; UAE Team Emirates signed 6 and INEOS Grenadiers signed 4 - generally, a lower tally when comparing to the average.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
