Another rider leaves Movistar Team: Johan Jacobs departs for Groupama - FDJ
CyclingSaturday, 17 August 2024 at 13:48
Johan Jacobs leaves Movistar Team after five seasons in which he has not fully realised the potential he seemed to have when he finished second in 2019 at Paris-Roubaix Espoirs.
The Swiss, now 27, is leaving for Groupama - FDJ after failing to take a single victory in the seasons he has been with the team. This year, for example, his best result comes from The Traka 200, a gravel race in which he finished third.
On the road, not a top 10 beyond the two achieved in the Swiss national championships both on the road and time trial. It is clear that the cyclist has not been able to develop in his years with the Movistar Team (this year he finished 38th in the Roubaix) and the best thing for the squad and for himself is an exit. We'll see if in FDJ he can at least be a good support rider for men like Stefan Kung or Romain Gregoire in the early season classics.

- If Valentino Rossi could never win during his period of dominance, and massive personality, then Pogacar not winning isn't a massive surprise. Cycling isn't a Premier League global sport......only one event reaches the mainstream every year - and that's not good enough.wipperman9519-12-2024
- I don't think it's only a British thing; the biggest talents aren't usually drawn to CX. Where are all the top Italian, French, Spanish, Slovenian CX riders? Apart from Belgium, and Netherlands, it's not really a target for up and coming cyclists - as there's no career unless you move to Belgium. Other countries can't support a proper professional series, like an international sport should be able to do. Lets not forget, since 2016, British riders have won plenty of World championships; with Pidcock, Richards, Tulett & Backstedt all winning more than one..... And, there was a time when Belgium didn't rule the roost in CX; that was Switzerland, but since the advent of XC MTB, their top off-road talents race there instead of CX - and the 2nd raters not good enough for XC MTB, race CX.wipperman9519-12-2024
- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

ChoppyWarburton18-12-2024 - The bike industry situation is the same as the future Dutch talent pool discussion , it’s a fakely perceived problem due to an exceptional period that’s come to an end.Mistermaumau18-12-2024
- It's all a part of the fun. Sometimes it takes a few races before you can tell who's who and what's going on.
santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
