For those who watch cycling closely, it was impossible to miss the name Jonas Abrahamsen during the 2024 Tour de France. The Uno-X Mobility rider was constantly on the attack during the race and the team pulled out all the stop to keep him onboard. A new contract was signed all the way until 2028.
“The way Jonas is developing is simply impressive! He has been part of the Uno-X family since the beginning, where we have grown together to compete among the world’s best," Thor Hushovd, team manager, shared in a message on social media. "Proud and happy to extend the contract by 2 more years until the end of 2028! This proves that Uno-X Mobility is thinking and investing long-term!”
Abrahamsen had a contract until 2026 already with the team but there were rumours that after his performance at the Tour, there was interest from other teams. A few riders with ongoing contracts such as Tom Pidcock have contact with other teams despite their ongoing long-term contract; and the cases of Primoz Roglic and Cian Uijtdebroeks set precedents for what could be a departure of the Norwegian from the ProTeam.
But Uno-X stood their ground. Recently Hushovd admitted that he was considering a raise for the 28-year old: "I want to give him a raise so that Jonas feels he is appreciated." Now that has become a reality. The winner of the Brussels Cycling Classic also finished second at Dwars door Vlaanderen this year and has the potential to become a leader in the cobbled classics. Uno-X has the chance to also climb to World Tour level and he could play a big role in that.
During the Tour de France Abrahamsen rode an entire fifth of the race in the breakaway leading the Tour, featuring in the breakaway on five occasions including the first two days which earned him several days in the lead of the points and KOM classifications. Currently, he is riding in support of his teammates at the Tour of Norway and the team took the opportunity to seal the deal.

- I know, their headlines can be so misleading. Pidcock had a great season with 5 wins. and some solid 2nds. no reason to take away from that with a fake headline.mij08-11-2026
- You can clearly see the the posture change from slightly sitting to again out of the saddle while changing of gears in the video of the sprintabstractengineer08-11-2026
- He has already beaten Pogi twice in the TDF. the achievement is over. He cannot beat Pogi now and he only has a few years left at the top. Win Giro and compete in the TDF, maximise palmares.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
- Blah Blah Blah !frieders308-11-2026
- MS said she was changing gears so that caused her slight deviation. Nothing was intentional.frieders308-11-2026
- How can you use a photo post incident to judge the incident itself (which is not hard to find if you’re prepared to invest the same amount of time in searching as writing that comment? It’s harsh but technically right even though this or worse is not always sanctioned in every race. The two things that went against MS (who unfortunately for her would still have won without making her mistake) are that it was not a bunch sprint where there could have been an overlooked incident or mitigating circumstances explaining a deviation. Everything was focused on just those 2, Schreiber was riding beautifully balanced which made her sudden deviation look unnatural stroke as if it could have been in some part intentional whilst she was slowly drifting ever closer towards the barrier to a point that would have reached obstruction level. In her defence, it might have been the realisation she was heading towards that that made her react suddenly and caused the deviation involuntarily. In any case, congratulations to her for the ride of her life, in people’s minds she will be credited for it.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Good boy Obviously doesn’t need that much help dealing with pressure, as some have suggested. Wiser (and humbler) than many far further along their careers. About offering him the moon, recently someone came up with an explanation of the downfall of a football great (either referring to Maradona or Portuguese Ronaldo) saying it was kind of normal after coming back from the moon, except that others, including some who actually did go to the moon like Armstrong (Neil in case anyone is too switched off to realise) didn’t go through any of the same motions after coming back. A lot of how you deal with situations has less to do with the situation than with your character.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
