Official - Uno-X Pro Cycling Team announce Andreas Leknessund as second signing of the day

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.
