Cian Uijtdebroeks' future at BORA - hansgrohe is in doubt following a clash with one of his teammates Aleksandr Vlasov. Given the high potential of the Belgian prodigy, various teams are already beginning to circle like sharks.
The 20-year-old impressed at his first Grand Tour recently, finishing 8th overall at the Vuelta a Espana although with competition for general classification leadership fierce within the team due to the likes of the aforementioned Vlasov, Lennard Kamna, Jai Hindley, Emanuel Buchmann, Max Schachmann and the incoming Daniel Martinez and Primoz Roglic, it is expected Uijtdebroeks will look to try his look in different pastures.

Uijtdebroeks' current contract expires in 2024 and according to Daniel Benson of GCN, Lidl-Trek and the INEOS Grenadiers currently lead the way in the chase for his signature.
Both teams have been active this transfer window with varying levels of success. Lidl-Trek being one of the most active teams, signing the likes of Tao Geoghegan Hart, Jonathan Milan, Carlos Verona and Patrick Konrad among others whilst INEOS have been fruitlessly searching for a new GC leader, unsuccessfully sounding out Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic.
However, "To be clear, no deal has been made and there is still a more than reasonable chance of Uijtdebroeks staying at Bora," concludes Benson, meaning any deal is still far from complete.

- Here he is again, giving real answers! Love it. As a fan, I had not really paid attention but agree with what he says. Between Pogacar and van der Poel, with their attacks from 50k and more, the racing is simply different. At the grand tours, it's that kind of attacking every day, as well (e.g., even when he didn't want to, other teams goaded Pogacar into racing for the win at the Tour). I can imagine how hard that is for a rider, but for me as a fan it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.RidesHills25-11-2024
- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024

- Christophe Bassons is one of many names. If you don’t that story, you don’t belong in these comments.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career. He claimed to enter the sport as a clean athlete, but there is evidence was already well into using banned substances as a triathlete. Lance is still lying about his use of banned substances & blood transfusions during his return to competition with Astana team.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024
- Many other drugs cheats also had no empathy.awp25-11-2024
