Another young rider is set to take their first steps among professionals in 2025. Currently 18-year-old Dane Peter Oxenberg agreed to a three-year deal with the British formation. Øxenberg impressed this year with 2nd place at U23 Eschborn-Frankfurt and a stage win at Orlen Nations (2.NC).
Øxenberg said in a press release: "I came to cycling quite late but everyone knows this team and the talent it has. It’s a super professional set up and everyone has been really welcoming. It’s been great to see how the team works with young riders over the years and helps them to perform at the highest level. It gave me a lot of confidence when I came to sign with the team."

What can we expect from Øxenberg? "I’m still quite young and discovering a lot about myself and how I can perform at my best. I’ve enjoyed the climbing I’ve done in races and I really love time trialling. I think that can be one of my strongest areas. I want to improve everywhere and learn as much as I can. I know I’m in the place to do that."
With riders like Jonas Vingegaard and Mads Pedersen carrying the flag of the Kingdom high in the peloton, many young riders in the country try to follow in the footsteps, just like Øxenberg: "Cycling is huge in Denmark. It’s super competitive and it’s hard to win any race there. The level is really high and I’m excited to become part of this big Danish group of riders in the WorldTour."

Performance Director Scott Drawer said: "It’s a real coup for us to secure Peter’s signing as there was significant interest in him across the peloton. We’re thrilled he’s joining our team to take his first steps as a professional bike rider. He’s already had some excellent results, in only a short time in the sport, and many would also have seen his effort and that of his team on Coll de Rates which was very impressive. Peter’s young, ambitious and hugely talented, and will fall under the guidance of our internal Ascent programme which includes the likes of Josh Tarling, Magnus Sheffield, AJ August and others."

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself.
