Official - Uno-X Pro Cycling Team announce Andreas Leknessund as second signing of the day
CyclingTuesday, 01 August 2023 at 14:17
August the 1st is the day in which teams can finally reveal their transfers after months of speculation. The Uno-X Pro Cycling Team have clearly been busy, announcing Magnus Cort Nielsen earlier in the day and now, Andreas Leknessund.
The 24-year-old Dane previously rode for Uno-X's developmental team until moving to his current employer, Team DSM-Firmenich, in 2020. Leknessund has impressed in recent years, including at the 2023 Giro d'Italia where he wore the Maglia Rosa for a number of days before finishing 8th overall by the time the race reached Rome.
The arrival of Leknessund on a three-year deal alongside the earlier arrival of Magnus Cort, also on a three-year deal continues the progression of the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team. After making a Tour de France debut last month, signings such as these will be key in ensuring more Grand Tour appearances in the coming years.
Leknessund will remain at Team DSM-Firmenich for the remainder of the season, before joining Uno-X at the end of the year, ready for the 2024 campaign.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- 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
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
