Tour de France | Uno-X reveal lineup, Alexander Kristoff and Tobias Johannessen lead the charge
CyclingTuesday, 20 June 2023 at 13:32
The Tour de France has seen today it's first team announcing the lineup, Uno-X Pro Cycling Team are making their long-awaited debut in the Grand Boucle with an ambitious lineup which includes Alexander Kristoff and Tobias Johannessen who will search success.
Alexander Kristoff, a four-time stage winner at the Tour, will be hunting success in the sprints. He will be supported by under-23 time-trial World Champion Soren Waerenskjold who has just finished second to Mathieu van der Poel in the Baloise Belgium Tour. Jonas Abrahamsen, who briefly led the Tour de Pologne last year, should be a crucial part of that support, whilst classics specialist Rasmus Tiller will also be there but have partial focus on breakaways - as will Jonas Gregaard.
However the team does not come ill prepared towards the mountains. Showing his first signs of form recently, he finished the Criterium du Dauphiné in 15th spot but was close to a stage win. However Torstein Traeen stepped up to the role there, finishing eighth in the overall classification. The lineup is concluded by Anthon Charmig who is himself a strong climber, having won a hilly stage at the Tour of Oman last year where he also achieved a few GC results.
Alexander Kristoff, Jonas Gregaard, Rasmus Tiller, Tobias Johannessen, Torstein Traeen, Jonas Abrahamsen, Anthon Charmig and Soren Waerenskjold.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026
- bummer - he was fun to watch and was young. had a lot left in him.mij09-01-2026
- What a fairytale day! Everything fell into place.mhfrvz09-01-2026
- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
