Now that we get to know the first signings for 2026 I will try and gather them in a thread & give my two cents & thoughts for those interested. Same as the last years basically!
Expect the thread to fill towards the end of the year, it's still early.

It's the team he rode for before making the step to Tudor. One of the absolute best Conti teams with a very strong roster.
Let's see if Heming can claim some wins and get another shot at being pro.

Among that news is that German Conti team "Run & Race – Wibatech" & Polish Conti team "Monogo Lubelskie Perła Polski" will merge.
Will see about the license & how many Germans remain.

Very good to see that she signed a long-term deam that will allow her to develop.
Was very impressed with her back at the Tour de l'Avenir which she rode as a Junior against older riders!

For Kessler would be important to stay healthy then the results will follow, I'm sure. Big fan of his potential.
Also will be very interesting to follow Huber & Seppe van den Boer now that they are in a proper structure!

Still waiting on Attila Höfig and Jonathan Schipkowski who should both get a ride at Conti level for 2026.

Similar profile to other new signing Matyas Kopecky, but I could see Müller get a result or two in some of the French Cup races for example.

They prepared this step for some time & are the 2nd new German Womens Conti team in 26. A great development which will give more riders a chance to compete & develop at UCI level.

Let's see if either of them can still make another step in their development within a slightly bigger structure.

It will run alongside their existing men's team and will have similar goals: to promote German talent both on the road and on the track.
Further infos about the name and roster in the coming days.

Could be a nice pairing.

He made a big leap in performance this year and has an interesting profile being pretty fast but surviving hilly terrain very well. A good racer too, so will be interesting to see him develop.

Another reminder how important the established Conti teams can be to give riders a platform who would be long ousted from the big Devo programs.

They signed Max Bock who was in Auto Eder for a year before & getting Magagnotti is a nice coup. Good to see Putz getting another year as well.
Looking forward to see Andersen on a new level too.

'It's a bit sad, because I think that in an international team, every rider should have the same opportunities and the same race programme. At Groupama, that wasn't the case.’

Made such a huge improvement and had an incredible year but just keeps on missing that elusive win. Doesn't matter if it's the 2.2 Tour of Istanbul or a WT classic like Plouay, he's up there but being beaten again and again.
