🇩🇪 Conti Transfer Thread 2026

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.
Mathys Rondel one of the prime candidates to have a proper breakout season and establish himself among the GC riders.

Maybe not yet in a Grand Tour but definitely in the harder one-week races.

Finally confirmed that Magdalena Leis has signed for UAE-ADQ Development Team.

She was 2nd at last year Junior Euro ITT confirming her strengths as a TTer and rouleur. Given she only got a one-year deal let's hope she can impress and has a good development this year.

Would make sense that Caja-Rural gets the Tour invite as well after being invited to Auvergne-Rhone Alpes (Dauphiné) today.

Would be a big dissapointment for Unibet after many thought they seemed like a lock already.
Selon le Parisien, Caja Rural-Seguros RGA et TotalEnergies vont recevoir une invitation pour le prochain Tour de France (en plus de Cofidis, Pinarello-Q36.5 et Tudor).

L'annonce devrait intervenir ce vendredi. Unibet Rose Rockets n'aurait donc pas été choisie.

Promising debut among the Elites for first year U23 Moritz Mauss today. Held his own in tough conditions & the trust from the team seems to be there as well.

Little shout for Paul-Felix Petry as well who finished ahead of all of his experienced teammates. Missed lots of racing last year, promising!

Looks like despite missing in the German Cycling press release announcing the team for CX Worlds, Marcel Meisen has made his way onto the startlist and will ride in Hulst this week.

Great ride by Pescador today and especially Henrique Bravo.

Brazilian MTBer who instantly won one of Spains most prestigious Junior stage races when he came over to Europe in 2024.

Got picked up by Soudal to their Dev program and has been developing really good ever since. One to follow this year!

Interested to see if Decathlons neo-pro Antoine L'Hote is able to be up there tomorrow or the day after.

Great puncheur in the making who had a really good ride in Denmark last year and podiumed U23 Lombardia.

One of the riders to step into the Godon/Tronchon shaped hole in the team this year.

Nice way to kick off the season for Justyna Czapla at Tour Down Under.

14th and the winning the white jersey, on a pretty punchy climb that doesn't suit her perfectly. Hopefully this will lead to her getting some more chances to ride for herself in the smaller stage races later in the year.
January 19, 2026 at 12:41 PM
Retired Marcel Meisen does it another time.

10th national champs title for Meisen who put in a fast last lap to get rid of Hannes Degenkolb (3rd) and beats Fabian Eder in the final to 2nd.

No surprises at the German CX champs for women with Judith Krahl winning her 2nd Elite title comfortably. MTBer Sina van Thiel 2nd in a close battle with Theresia Schenk.

Jule Märkl dominates the U23 race as expected while Klara Dworatzek retains her Junior title with favourite Bieberle not here.
January 11, 2026 at 1:54 PM
Niclas Look is the new German Junior CX champ!

Two years after winning in the U17 he now also wins the Junior race. Alwin Beyer in 2nd and pre-race favourite Luan Elsäßer in 3rd complete the podium.

What an amazing race by Pat Eddie and the whole Team Brennan!

Beat multiple Jayco riders as a Conti team, great racing by them and finished off perfectly by Eddie and Bleddyn.

Eike Behrens is the new male 🇩🇪 U23 CX champion!

On the muddy course he managed to stay clear of favourite Max Oertzen and his teammate Silas Kuschla. Everyone else far behind them.

Confirmation of MaxSolar-Raymon becoming a new German Continental team in 2026.

The team was an amateur team for two years and adds name sponsor Raymon (Bike brand) to make the step. The roster also undergoes quite some changes and adds a few international riders.

Another setback for Eekhoff, can't catch a break.

And the team loses their best classics rider for the first half of the year. Big blow to their points tally already..

Iana-Alesia Baltes, the Romanian double Junior champion, has also signed with the Rembe rad-net womens team for 2026.

Bit more of a wildcard, she will probably use next year to get used to the Elite level and learn as much as she can. Has a past as a MTBer.

Selma Lantzsch has been confirmed as another new signing for the Rembe rad-net Womens team.

Very deserved to see Lantzsch back at Conti level. She has improved with every year & is a great all-round rider who is hopefully able to get UCI results ar a race or two.

Rembe rad-net confirm Franziska Brauße as their first signing for the new women's team they will run in 2026.

A very experienced rider both on the road and track she will be essential to guide some of the younger riders on the team while going for results herself.

Looking at the Picnic PostNL roster for 2026 and excluding Onley it does really look a bit bleak.

No guaranteed big points scorer while Jakobsen & Dinham with big doubts (though also big upsides) & then several riders who have to make that next step rather soonish.
