Uno-X makes Norway proud
The Uno-X Pro Cycling Team started years ago with the intention of promoting Norwegian cycling. Even if this mission can already be considered a success, the Norwegian team is far from having reached the end of its development. In the 2023 season, 17 victories were achieved with a total of 50 podium finishes. With Soren Waerenskjold they accompanied and developed their first real world star. The 23-year-old is solely responsible for his team's six wins this season - and they certainly won't be the last. But an oldie was also able to achieve great success in the Uno-X team jersey. alexander kristoff won a stage each at the Volta ao Algarve and the domestic Tour of Norway. Also drew attention Tobias Johannessen. The 24-year-old came second overall in the Tour of Britain and was extremely aggressive in his first Tour de France. We can also expect a lot from him in the future.
2024: Kulset, Leknessund & Cort
A few years ago, the sporting leadership of the Uno-X team made it clear that the ultimate goal was promotion to the WorldTour. With their participation in the Tour de France and their strong performances this season, the Norwegian team has underpinned this plan. The transfers for next year show that they are really serious. With Magnus Court They have brought an experienced man into the team who can achieve success on almost every profile - perhaps with the exception of time trials and high mountains. He is also loyal, down-to-earth, reliable and ensures a good atmosphere in the team. So you can confidently speak of an absolute royal transfer. The same applies to the future Johannes Kulset. The 19-year-old comes from the Uno-X Dare Development Team and is considered one of the biggest talents in road cycling worldwide. However, he still has to follow his statement “One day I want to win the Tour de France” with action. Andreas Leknessund also joins the team. The 24-year-old wore the pink jersey for several days at this year's Giro d'Italia and ended up eighth overall. He is also considered a great talent, even if some experts suspect that he has already come very close to his performance limit.
