Alpecin-Deceuninck snatch French promise Axel Laurance following B&B Hotels-KTM bust
CyclingMonday, 19 December 2022 at 03:00
Axel Laurance has signed a contract with Alpecin-Deceuninck, the development team most specifically. Frenchman found himself without a team after B&B Hotels-KTM was dissolved, but thankfully just before the beginning of the new season, he found a new home for himself. He will ride for the team until 2024.
Initially, he will be part of the development team, then he will join WorldTeam in 2024. "I am very proud of this step," Laurance said. He continues, "I am convinced that I can develop further here and that I will grow - step by step - towards the best version of myself. I have no doubt that this will be a very nice story."
Laurance recorded his first career victory in the fourth stage of the CRO Race. His other notable achievements included silver in the Bretagne Classic-Ouest-France and Tour de Wallonie where he scored bronze.

- In what way? If you mean I didn't put it very well, I'm thinking this was not a great time for UAE to be signing a contract extension with Tadej, with the worst-case possibility that, like Luke Rowe, he may never be able to race again.Hills3308-09-2026

- did well to win that Giro. injuries have crueled him .At least Trek stood by him bt after some of their signings i didnt expect them to resign him.
Davide08-09-2026 - i luv the transfers,rumours etc. Re Mattias Skjelmose i wouldnt blame him for being pissed off .it will be ashame if he leaves Trek ...the rumours about them chasing Gall dont help at all. Gee hasnt been impressive. Not sure if the lidl control has been a good thing. Thankfully Mads and Lucinda are there. Shame to see Shirin leave.Davide08-09-2026

- Regarding the scandal, I think you’re confusing the WC with national champs where the federation can ban riders who don’t participate. If I remember right, Remco was in doubt for the Tour or something like that because of it but yes, in that case his license wouldn’t be valid and there’d be nothing his team could do about it to register him.Jumpyjohn07-09-2026
