With the cycling transfer window now open, rumours are circulating that Bahrain - Victorious and the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team rider Torstein Traeen have come to an agreement over the future of the 28-year-old Norwegian.
This is reported by the Norwegian Landevei and after the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team have announced the signing of both Magnus Cort Nielsen and Andreas Leknessund already on August 1st, the possibility of spaces needing to be made within the squad is a quite realistic one.
The 28-year-old is set to sign a two-year deal with Bahrain Victorious. Traeen has had a rollercoaster few years both on and off the bike, being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2022 before thankfully making a full recovery and returning to the peloton.
Having completed his first Grand Tour at the recent Tour de France, Traeen has also impressed with a top-10 finish in the general classification of the Critérium du Dauphine and at the Tour of the Alps.

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
- Yes, still sad though, that he's retiring. Anyway, best wishes for his new chaptermhfrvz08-01-2026
- has he been pushed out by the team ?
ChillingCyclist08-01-2026 - Jesus was crusified at age 33. Go out BIG, not like Froome; a good cyclist but people are now laughing and making fun of Froomey. He just doesn't know when to quit. I understand Simon Yates. Who still remembers, Pogi the GOAT also talked about retiring early? He had enough of the BS that comes with professional sports, especially cycling.NikkoNicco08-01-2026
- I think the regret is greater for Cian than JV.mij08-01-2026
- Ayuso was a rat...a traitor. Lidli Trek will get rid of him in the next two years. Once a traitor, always a traitor. He betrayed his UAE team and Pogacar.NikkoNicco08-01-2026
