Up-and-coming Belgian racer Cian Uijtdebroeks has delivered a major surprise in cycling's transfer markets after it was announced Friday that he will leave current squad Visma-Lease a Bike at the end of 2025 and ride for Movistar for the next four seasons.
Uijtdebroeks' wholly unexpected move comes despite the 22-year-old having two years still to run on his current contract with the Dutch team. It also comes two years after the 2022 Tour de l'Avenir winner ended his contract with Bora-Hansgrohe early to move to Jumbo-Visma, the previous iteration of Visma-Lease a Bike.
