Uno-X rider’s wife makes public plea as pro future remains uncertain: “He’s 25, weighs 56kg, speaks multiple languages, and is ready to support any team”
Cycling
Magnus Kulset is currently without a contract for the 2026 season, and his wife, Charlotte Broughton Kulset, has taken to social media in an open appeal to the professional cycling world.
In a series of candid posts on X, Broughton Kulset highlighted her husband's credentials and made a direct call to teams seeking a committed and multilingual rider.
“Hey cycling Twitter! My husband, Magnus Kulset, is looking for a team for 2026 onwards. He’s 25, weighs 56kg, speaks fluent English, Spanish + Italian, and these are his numbers,” she wrote, attaching an image of his power profile and including a direct contact email: [email protected].

She added that, as a Norwegian, Magnus also speaks his native language and understands both Swedish and Danish — a valuable asset for teams operating across the Nordic region or with Scandinavian riders on the roster.
Importantly, she underlined his flexibility when it comes to relocation: “Also completely happy to relocate to another country if it fits a team better.”
The post serves not only as a call for interest but also as a reflection on cycling's ongoing discourse around rider weight and health. Acknowledging Magnus’ lean physique, Broughton Kulset addressed it head-on: “I also want to make it VERY clear: he is naturally very skinny. He eats a crazy amount. He’s not unhealthy, just naturally short and very lightweight. Please don’t think you need to be this weight. Please work with your body, not against it.”

Kulset has been a long serving member of the Uno-X team
A loyal Uno-X servant
Kulset has spent his entire senior career with Uno-X Mobility, turning professional with the Norwegian outfit in 2023. While he hasn’t been a headline-grabber, his work as a domestique has been consistent — often putting in selfless rides in support of team leaders across a range of terrain.
With the team’s future direction and roster still taking shape for 2026 and beyond, Kulset’s situation underscores the increasingly competitive nature of securing contracts, particularly for riders who specialise in support roles rather than results.
Broughton Kulset's posts offer a rare, human look into the personal stakes of pro cycling careers — where talent alone doesn’t always guarantee job security, and where riders and their families sometimes need to step into the spotlight to keep a career alive. Whether the public plea will lead to a contract remains to be seen, but it's a reminder that behind the jerseys and results sheets are riders fighting hard — not just on the road, but for their place in the sport.

- On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And we, what are we doing?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And yet, it attracts people, even you. What’s more, it attracts the rival fanboys to fill cyberspace with endless pointless my hero is better than your hero blabla that’s all been heard before and only helps sell the site as an advertising platform. You know what the solution is but most can’t resist. No different than women who follow and discuss celebs through gossip magazines.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- he is doing 460 watts for 35 min to achieve 7 w/kg with VO2 at 96 , just unreal numbers.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just do it, and put up with the consequencesJumpyjohn08-11-2026
- "was a headliner at the Tour de France" Nobody cared about Piddie. Only rivals that were there for Pogi, Jonas, Remco, Sexias, Lipo, Del Toro and they were all expected to lose. Piddie was not even in any conversation.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- exactly, he had an amazing season, but with these overstatements they don‘t do him good.Ketterechts08-11-2026
