🇩🇪 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.
With Zeno Levi Winter's move to Team Tirol KTM being announced, most of the male German 2nd year Juniors who showed promise on an international stage have a future team announced.

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

Nice to see Müller make the step to being a pro. If he can keep developing like he has I have no doubt he will be a decent rider at this level.

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.

The Wheel Divas Cycling Team announced their step up to Continental level in 2026.

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.

With Dominik Röber & Tobias Nolde two stalwarts of Benotti-Berthold & the German Conti landscape change team for 2026 joining Team Vorarlberg.

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

Rembe rad-net will be creating a women's Continental team.

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.

Gerry Ryan and Jayco need a sponsor and Premier Tech need a team.

Could be a nice pairing.

Confirming the rumours, German Junior Moritz Mauss is making the step-up into the U23 program of UAE.

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.
October 23, 2025 at 12:24 PM
Nice to see Jannis Peter make the deserved step-up and becoming a Pro after with Unibet after years of consistent development in the Conti ranks.

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.

Guess it isn't much of a surprise to see Sophie Alisch, the former boxer who announced her switch to cycling a couple months back, make her way onto the Canyon Sram roster given her immediate sponsoring by Canyon.

Will be interesting to watch how she gets on!

Looks like the RBH Rookies team will again be one of the strongest Conti/Devo teams around in 2026.

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.

Interview with Max Bock that touches the reasons for him to not continue with Groupama.

'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.’

Emilien Jeannière really is the biggest nearly man of the season.

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.

Rad-Bundesliga should see a new race in 2026 near Osnabrück: the „Sparkassen-Wiehengebirgs-Regio-Runde“

Plans for a 135km race, consisting of 7 loops around Schledehausen, Bad Essen, Ober- und Niederholsten and Astrup which includes a KoM at Bad Essener Berg.

Will be interesting to see how big a leap Kagevi can make within a WWT set-up.

Should turn into a very valuable rider with her allround abilities.
Everyone say 'hej' to Swedish TT champ Stina Kagevi, who is joining our squad in 2026! 🤗👋

We can’t wait to see Stina’s spirit light up the road with us next season. 💕 Get to know her: explore.efprocycling.com/StinaKageviA...

So far Karl has been similarly impressive in the Junior ranks as Emil.

Will be interesting to see how he develops the next few years.

Paula Blasi continuing her amazing season, could be two spanish wins in the youth cats today.

Linda Riedmann in 5th and almost surviving after being solo in front with more than a minute coming into the last lap. Still another very strong ride!

Just two seconds missing for Magdalena Leis against the best of the world for Euro title.

Very impressive ride by her which will hopefully secure her a good ride for next year. Maybe she can continue the streak of German Juniors picked up by Canyon Generation.

Good to see Benedikt Benz making the step-up to a WT Devo team.
