Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe shows interest in Remco Evenepoel's important domestique

Mattia Cattaneo will be one of the protagonists of the 2026 Cycling Market. After spending the last six seasons at Soudal - Quick-Step the Italian is currently without a contract for next season and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, has already attracted the attention of several WorldTour teams.

According to the latest rumors reported by Gazzetta, there are three teams that have shown the greatest interest in the 1990-born rider, suggesting that it will be a struggle to convince him to choose a specific team for the future of his career.

First of all, Soudal - Quick-Step is definitely interested to keep the strong timetrialist and climber on board for year(s) to come, seeing how he has become a reliable support piece for Remco Evenepoel. Not just that - Cattaneo can also deliver decent results himself like he proved at the recent Tirreno-Adriatico when he snuck into the final top-10 of general classification.

In the other corner, Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe and Movistar will try to convince the 34-year-old to change colours in 2026. The two teams are currently in the front running for Cattaneo's services, although definitely not the only ones. There are still several months until August and some teams will definitely need to accept some loses, bringing them to Cattaneo's door.
