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.
