Cian Uijtdebroeks registered by UCI as BORA - hansgrohe rider but expected to attend Team Visma | Lease a Bike press launch

The complicated issue of Cian Uijtdebroeks future seems be showing no signs of unravelling just yet.

"Cian Uijtdebroeks will attend the Jumbo-Visma press launch for 2024 later today. Talks over his future between Bora and Jumbo took place this week. I can't imagine they'd have him at a public event if a deal hadn't been reached..." reports the highly respected and usually well-informed Benson.

However, is a deal has been reached by the three parties of Uijtdebroeks, Team Visma | Lease a Bike and BORA - hansgrohe, it would seem as if no one has alerted the UCI as of yet.

The curious story still has legs but as always we'll do our best to keep you up to date on all the latest developments.
