Cycling Market: Mikel Landa has already decided where he will race in 2024

Cycling Market: Basque cyclist Mikel Landa, 33, already knows which team he will ride for in the 2024 season.

Among the options he has had on the table are the possibility of renewing with Bahrain-Victorious itself, joining the Soudal Quick-Step team along with the promising young Remco Evenepoel, returning to the ranks of INEOS, or signing with Lidl Trek (Josu Larrazabal, director of the Lidl Trek team, has publicly acknowledged that they have maintained contacts to try to sign the talented rider).

According to information obtained by MARCA, the final decision has already been made and suggests that Landa will opt for one of the first two options. In this way, rumors suggesting talks with teams such as AG2R or Arkéa are denied, leaving the aforementioned alternatives as the main candidates for the rider's future.

At the last Tour de France, Mikel Landa expressed his interest in the possibility of competing in the same team as Remco Evenepoel, highlighting his admiration for the young rider's racing style and character. Thus, a union between the two talents could be one of the options that Landa is seriously contemplating for next season.

On the other hand, Evenepoel has made it clear that there is no truth in the rumors linking him to a possible move to Ineos, thus clearing up any speculation about his future team. Mikel Landa's decision will be crucial for next year's cycling scene, as his talent and experience make him a coveted rider for several teams. His presence in any team will bring indisputable value and the fans will be anxious to know what his final choice will be.

With his destination already mapped out, it only remains to wait for the official announcement by the Basque cyclist to know what his team will be next season and how this move will affect the competitive landscape of world cycling.
