Third addition for Team corratec – Selle Italia. After Niccolò Bonifazio and Andrii Ponomar, the Italian PRT team announced signing of Mark Stewart for next season. The 28-year-old rider showed himself well in Italy this year, obtaining excellent results at Per Semper Alfredo and GP Larciano, finishing in second and third place respectively.
"I am very happy to join Team corratec – Selle Italia. In the current season, the team has conducted an exceptional racing program which has led to excellent results. I can't wait to start this new adventure with them and I hope to be able to meet all my teammates and the staff soon. Furthermore, I am confident that I can contribute to the success of the team and achieve some good results," Stewart expresses.
The British rider, who is also successful on track, thus becomes second rider of Bolton Equities Black Spoke that secures a professional contract for 2024. The New Zealand's team had a strong first season among the professional ranks, including not less than 15 victories. However the funding will be cut in 2024 and thus the team won't renew its PRT license, hoping to survive on CT level to ideally bounce back in next year or two.

- That 3000 extra that the Tour de France is built up in the flat stages
Rafionain-Glas04-11-2026 - maybe this is something else they can protest in the streets of France.mij04-11-2026
- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these. He had a perfect race with fewer bike issues on an attritional course. And crazy strong as usual. Glad he got this done.mij04-11-2026

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
- He will be lol, but he can still win on the climbs hahaawp04-11-2026
- I would love to have his inconsistency. How many wins this year? 2 TdF stages, a WC, a Euro championship, San Sebastian, multiple wins early year. Monument podiums. I'd take it. I don't think he has a chance in the TdF, but he is still amazing.mij04-11-2026
- He's not going to win the TdF. Maybe if they make every single stage a TT he could win. But I still believe Tadej would just sharpen his TT skills and win.mij04-11-2026
