Five top cycling teams, including INEOS and Jumbo-Visma, looking to create a new cycling "Super League"
CyclingFriday, 27 October 2023 at 09:55
According to Reuters, five top cycling teams, including Ineos and Jumbo-Visma, are in talks to set up an alternative cycling competition. The intention is to break the power of big players such as ASO and get more money flowing to the teams.
Cycling teams have been complaining for years about the current model, in which a limited amount of organisers seizes all the control over races organisation and subsequent profits (e.g. from TV rights) flow right into their own pockets.
In an attempt to divide the cake - in their view - more fairly, 5 top teams (Ineos and Jumbo-Visma are certainly mentioned) have put their heads together. The plan is to use an alternative competition to put existing and new competitions on one calendar.
According to the insiders that Reuters was able to speak to, it is far from certain whether a new "Super League" will actually be created. In 2012, several teams joined forces for the Cycling World Series, but that eventually never saw the day of light.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
