Cian Uijtdebroeks's future at BORA - hansgrohe in doubt following clash with Aleksandr Vlasov
CyclingSaturday, 07 October 2023 at 10:54
BORA - hansgrohe have announced huge news today with the signing of Primoz Roglic. Unrelated however, one of it's other leaders, Cian Uijtdebroeks, is rumoured to be leaving the team after the Vuelta a Espana clash with Aleksandr Vlasov.
With the entrance of Roglic in the team, Uijtdebroeks' role will diminish, however he is certainly a priority for the team. Last year's Tour de l'Avenir winner has had a stupendous season this year with incredible consistency with Top10 results at the Tour of Oman, Volta a Catalunya, Tour de Romandie, Tour de Suisse and Vuelta a Espana. A very bright figure for the future, he certainly has the interest of many teams if he is to depart the German team.
He holds a contract until 2024. However during the Vuelta a Espana he talked about how in the final week Aleksandr Vlasov was attempting to finish ahead of him - even though they were fighting for seventh place. Eventually the Russian did succeed, but that episode led to an unusual situation within the team and it appeared evident that both leaders were not working towards a common goal.
Whether that would be a reason to depart or not is unknown. Although relatively vague, French journalist Charles Marsault reports that several sources indicated Uijtdebroeks wants to leave the German team, and Groupama - FDJ is a potential candidate for a signing.

- Interesting suggestion, fo you think testing Tadej’s (or Bolts’ or so many others’) parents would have given us a preview of his potential then or what criteria do you have to pick parents with?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- Even amateur teams suffer this sort. But this is also largely due to the precarious sponsorship, in very few sports do you find kit with so many sponsors having to be integrated and changing so regularly.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- I think it’s pretty obvious what was responsible for destroying interest that used to be there.Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- This has been stated repeatedly, MVDP for CX, road and if it already counts, gravel. Lavreysen for track. I expect as a cycling fan you’ve heard of them?Mistermaumau19-12-2024
- The same thing was said when Tadej announced that he would ride the Giro: "he goes to Il Giro because he knows he can't win the Tour". Always negative speculations. Maybe Primoz, near to the final of his career, simply wants to try this experience.
maria2024202419-12-2024 - 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
- What super dutch talent are we talking about?awp18-12-2024
