Time to get excited! Uno-X Mobility become first team to officially announce Tour de France 2025 lineup

With races like the Giro d'Italia and the Criterium du Dauphine in the history books for 2025, it's time to start getting excited for the upcoming Tour de France. Proving just how close the biggest race on the calendar is approaching, Uno-X Mobility have today become the first team to officially announce their team for the Grand Tour.

“This was the hardest selection we’ve ever made,” says Thor Hushovd, General Manager of Uno-X Mobility in a press release posted to the team's official website. “Some very strong riders miss out – and that says a lot about how far we’ve come as a team. Every year we raise the bar. We’re still chasing the big one: a Tour stage win. The 2025 route rewards brave racing, and this team is made for that.”

The biggest name to miss out is Alexander Kristoff. The four-time Tour de France stage winner has been a key part of every Tour appearance for Uno-X over the last few years, but in the final year of the 37-year-old's career, he's now set to miss out. “Leaving out Alexander was incredibly tough,” says Hushovd. “He absolutely deserved a final Tour appearance, and I’m confident he would have delivered – just like he always does. But this year, we’ve chosen Soren Waerenskjold as our main sprinter. He’s shown he can win sprints against the very best. Together with Stian Fredheim, he forms a promising duo. It’s a decision that reflects the future of our team.”

Elsewhere, twin brothers Anders and Tobias Johannessen join forces, with Magnus Cort Nielsen, Markus Hoelgaard, Andreas Leknessund and a star of last year's Tour de France, Jonas Abrahamsen completing a near-wholly Norwegian lineup. 

“We want to be in the mix every day,” says Sports Director Gabriel Rasch. “This team is built to ride aggressively – to shape the stages, not just follow wheels. We have riders for every scenario: breakaways, climbs, sprints. From stage one to the final day in Paris, we’ll be chasing results.”
