Vingegaard's contract status

Jonas Vingegaard, the two-time Tour de France winner, is currently under contract with Visma-Lease a Bike until 2028. His contract still has one year remaining, and he will become a free agent in 2028, which has drawn interest from other teams.

Uno-X Mobility's interest

Thor Hushovd, director of the Norwegian team Uno-X Mobility, has confirmed that his team has contacted Vingegaard about a potential future move. The 2026 cycling season is nearly over, and teams are already discussing rider contracts for the next year.

Hushovd's ambitions

In a recent episode of a cycling podcast from TV2, Hushovd expressed his desire to sign Vingegaard, calling it a "dream." However, he acknowledged that other teams would likely have the same interest, making it difficult to secure Vingegaard's move.

Financial challenges

Hushovd noted that Vingegaard's salary is a significant barrier. The Danish rider currently earns five million euros annually, which would be difficult for Uno-X Mobility to cover directly. Hushovd suggested that a Danish company could help fund the deal to build business ties with Norway.

Vingegaard's immediate future

For now, Vingegaard will remain with Visma-Lease a Bike for the upcoming season. His goal is to perform well in the Tour de France, where he was forced to abandon the 2026 edition due to a severe fall during the 15th stage.
