Trek-Segafredo has signed with Mathias Vacek. He will ride for the team till 2025.
"I really can't wait to pin a shirt number on my Trek-Segafredo jersey and show what I can do. I'm looking forward to having a great time on this new adventure," Vacek said.
The Czech rider used to compete for Gazprom-RusVelo, but following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Gazprom-RusVelo was suspended, and Vacek was without a team. During his stay with Gazprom, he won a stage in UAE Tour.
He also won the first stage in Course de la Paix Grand Prix Jeseníky and National Championships Czech Republic U23. He secured silver in European Continental Championships U23. "The proximity and support of Trek-Segafredo has been crucial for me in recent months. The attention from the team was a big boost to keep me motivated. It will soon be my turn to pay that back," concluded Vacek.

- The most brutal sports are unpaid amateur endurance endeavours you usually pay to participate in, almost nobody will watch, few people know about and no pro is likely to try or win. Once you get used to being paid for something you quickly give up other ways of proving yourself.Mistermaumau11-09-2026
- Mental illness is a medical condition that tells us how a person thinks, feels, acts, or relates to others, causing ongoing distress or trouble handling in daily life. It's also happening on this site. Clinical surveys show that there are most mental illnesses in the USA. For example... Trump has clinical significant disturbance in emotion, thought regulation, and behavior. But the saddest thing is, that more than a half of Americans voted for him. So, what does that tell us about Americans? Let's not be too harsh. PS: Cyclists aren't mentally ill, but many times they do unintentional crazy-stupid things in the heat of competition and high adrenaline.PogiSloFans11-09-2026

- It’s no way as simple as supply and demand either. Every sport has its own financial ecosystem with different rewarding mechanisms. Tennis is a certain mix of quantity and performance, athletics is a different mix of both, in neither do salaries come into play. In cycling and football, salary is determinant with the difference that athletes have enormous resale value in one and almost never any in the other. Tadej had nowhere near the demand, popularity, attractiveness or other marketable values of Bolt and yet he earns way more despite being known and followed by probably less than 10% of Bolts’ audience numbers ( who also paid to see him). Many of Bolt’s appearances were free, his revenues related to appearances rarely topped $1m/y, most revenues came from endorsements. For a sport nobody pays for, I think cyclists do very well these days. They’re lucky there’s still a lot of easy money floating around (in certain circles). Josh Kerr (don’t worry if you’ve never heard of him, not worth digging) recently started advocating for allowing betting in athletics, obviously desperate, just when football is having its conscience crisis about banning advertisement and sponsorship by non recognised betting companies.Jumpyjohn11-09-2026
- He only did what Pog did to him. Thomas got his the easy way, Prim lost his the hard way. Mas had plenty of chances to get his, he probably finally will but if he doesn’t it’s unlikely to be through Prim as there are no more TTs, if Mas loses now, it most likely will be due to his own management and why should Prim take that into consideration?Mistermaumau11-09-2026
- If you ride a bike and consider the behaviour of some in cars you can quite easily stretch your imagination a bit to see some part of their brain isn’t functioning properly. In fact, you also notice it quite often in amateur racing. It may be attitude towards risk and respect have changed over the generations so different generations may have problems agreeing what is normal today. Taking huge risks when it concerns only your life is poor judgement when it goes wrong, doing it when it affects others signals something went permanently wrong with judgement along the way, it’s less poor judgement than a complete inability or disregard for judgement or understanding of consequences. Shall we take Groenewegen as a case study?Mistermaumau11-09-2026
- Hope he’s not going to be one of those early peakers or constantly ill guys, we seem to be having enough trouble with improving lately. Mads, Ayuso, Healy, Onley, Lipowitz, Hindley, somehow, none have managed to break through to a higher level whilst De Lie & co. hardly made it to base camp.Mistermaumau11-09-2026

- Puzzled what mental illness has to be going for stage win. Crashes in the peleton have no link to mental illness just poor judgement riding or not paying attention. Please do not link mental illness to crashes .paultryan200211-09-2026
- I swear to god if Roglič does the same thing to Mas as he did to Thomas at the Giro, I'll fkn laugh my head off. LET HIM HAVE IT, ROGLA... crush him like your compatriot, Pogi The Great, would crush him. Baby Hulk would say "SMASH !!!"PogiSloFans11-09-2026
