"Maybe he's the first ever, winner of a stage in the Tour de France for Uno-X Mobility" - Thor Hushovd has big hopes for one winter signing in particular
Cycling
Uno-X Mobility were active over the recent off-season, bringing in four new riders in an attempt to bolster their ranks ahead of a potential World Tour promotion by the end of the 2025 season. For General Manager Thor Hushovd, the excitement levels have been raised by one winter signing in particular.
"We have some new names this year. I have some good expectations, especially from the Danish rider Andreas Kron. Also, Amund Grøndahl Jansen is an interesting signing, but Andreas Kron is one of our main new signings for the 2025 season," the legendary sprinter says in an official press release. "So my goal and the team goal is to get him up to his level and take new steps for this coming season. I will not be surprised if he wins some nice races. And maybe he's the first ever, winner of a stage in the Tour de France for Uno-X Mobility. Why not?"
In the same press release, Kron himself, having moved from Lotto to join Uno-X Mobility, also spoke excitedly about his goals for the coming campaign. "My move to Uno-x mobility feels like coming home," the 26-year-old Dane begins warmly. "The person that is going to look iron in this team. I think for sure Jonas Abrahamsen is just getting stronger and stronger, but I think everyone knows. It's super nice to be back on Ridley. I'm just feeling good on it. Comfortable! And really, the new bike is super fast. So I'm really happy to be back on Ridley."

Although Hushovd spoke of potential Tour de France success, a wildcard to cycling's biggest race in 2025 is still yet to be officially announced. There clearly is a sense of expectation among the team however. "Tour de France ends one day before my birthday. Hopefully I can be there and celebrate with the team," says Rasmus Tiller for example, with Soren Waerenskjold also mentioning the French Grand Tour: "My goal is to get a top five in Paris-Roubaix, to become the National champion of TT and hopefully win the Belgium tour again. We will see how it goes. But those are my main goals and of course the Tour de France, if we get invited, but we don't know yet, so hopefully we do."

- It would be great if the World Champion's jersey could be rotated among McNulty, Simmons, and Jorgenson. They threaded the needle perfectly. If each hadn't done exactly what he did, exactly when he did it, the race would have gone to one of the more heralded superstars. That said, how nice that this humble and hardworking guy gets his moment in the sun.
MarkFour07-11-2026 - This is a really interesting idea, which, if well prepared could even be very successful. Very little money needs to be involved for a first season and any success could lead to rapid interest from sponsors.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Hmmm, you seem to have a very convenient black and white view of things. Perhaps you haven’t been around much to discover how complex problems can become over time with people who know how to control, manipulate (or worse) others so gradually or subtly that you arrive at an irresolvable situation before you realise. This is how many inconveniences get introduced to the young, naïve, passionate or “desperate”, knowing they are not armed, protected or strong enough to defend themselves once it’s too late. Why do you think omerta culture is so widespread, why do you think so many people continue to go through so many awful things in life that others can’t understand anyone getting into? Life may be far more jolly for you but you would do well to understand (or reflect more on) the real world to refrain from being so quick to criticise those in a hard spot that may have genuine reason for speaking out.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Seriously do you think when somebody gets into a serious accident, the ambulance is called by the hurt person?🤦 there is always a buddy system in place for a risky job. police , firefighters etc so that if someone gets hurt, the other call that in.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I get the point totally. We live in the snowflake society where some riders forget they are getting paid to ride and get results. When they have a few issues they try to look outside of the real issue instead of themselves. It odd so many of the team are making no complaints and getting on with their job. If you do not like what you do find another job simples. Tough love as my mum would say.paultryan200207-11-2026
- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
