Friday cycling quiz: Who's saying goodbye to their teammates and moving on to pastures new?
Have you been paying attention to the comings and goings around the peloton? Test your knowledge in our new Friday Quiz.


It's been a busy transfer season in the cycling world this year, with multiple big name riders buying themselves out of their current contracts to move teams. Plus multiple others moving on in 2026 to get a shiny new bike, or five, and a suitcase full of fresh kit.
The women's peloton saw a big-shake up last year, while this year it's the men's peloton where most of the big moves are happening. Remco Evenepoel is heading for Red Bull, Juan Ayuso leaves UAE Team Emirates for Lidl-Trek and Cian Uijtdebroeks has wriggled out of another contract.
Such moves used to be one offs, something that happened once every few years, but the sport is now seeing more and more riders move mid contract as long-term contracts are becoming the norm. Especially for riders who are expected to challenge for Grand Tour victories. While long-term contracts bring stability and financial security for riders, they can also be inflexible. Tying a rider down can cause issues if a team later changes priorities or sign another rider who threatens their leadership status.
But have you been paying attention? Have you been following the news, and do you know your way around the UCI rules governing agents, contract negotiations and the very specific dates that dictate when a move can be announced?
Take our quiz below and see. Ten questions, with some help along the way should you need it.

Editor of Cycling Weekly magazine, Simon has been working at the title since 2001. He first fell in love with cycling in 1989 when watching the Tour de France on Channel 4, started racing in 1995 and in 2000 he spent one season racing in Belgium. During his time at CW (and Cycle Sport magazine) he has written product reviews, fitness features, pro interviews, race coverage and news. He has covered the Tour de France more times than he can remember along with the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games and many other international and UK domestic races. He became the 134-year-old magazine's 13th editor in 2015 and can still be seen riding bikes around the lanes of Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Albeit a bit slower than before.
