    The Transfer Rumour Thats Just Became Real
    Jan 1 2026
    We start with the headline story: the transfer rumour that just became real. Oscar Onley has officially left Picnic‑PostNL and is set to join INEOS Grenadiers after a major contract buyout — a move that reshapes the British team’s future and signals a new era of big‑money transfers in the WorldTour.

    We also break down the newly revealed La Vuelta route, looking at the key mountain stages, GC flashpoints, and what the course design tells us about how the race might unfold.

    Next up: new kits. INEOS and Lidl‑Trek have both dropped fresh designs for the upcoming season — we look at the colours, the tech, and the early fan reactions.

    And finally, we check in on Mathieu van der Poel’s cyclocross dominance. His form, his rivals, and what this run means heading into the spring classics.
