One of cycling's most important blocks of the season is well underway. The transfer window opened on August 1, 2024, and new rider-team contracts that begin on January 1, 2025, will be confirmed.
Cyclingnews is tracking all movements during the transfer season—everything from contract renewals to extensions to retirements—with our dedicated transfer index.
We'll update this page through the rest of the year with every confirmed signing for 2025, building a team-by-team list of ins and outs, while also tracking the latest transfer news from the professional cycling peloton.
The 2024-2025 market
There have already been a number of important announcements and signings for the 2025 season, and perhaps a couple of the biggest are former world champion Anna van der Breggen's decision to come out of retirement and return to racing with SD Worx-Protime and reigning mountain bike World and Olympic champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot set to retire from mountain biking and return to road racing in 2025.
On the men's side, Julian Alaphilippe's departure from Soudal-Quickstep has been a major talking point, culminating in his move to Tudor Pro Cycling to complement the signing of Marc Hirschi.
With the off-season now in full swing, it's likely that transfer speculation and negotiations will continue to escalate.
Riders and teams in the women's and men's peloton are expected to sign new contracts, extend current contracts, or transfer to known teams. There was much speculation around a rumoured €1 million contract for former Tour de France champion Demi Vollering with a new team but she confirmed signing with FDJ-SUEZ, while Elisa Longo Borghini has also moved on to UAE ADQ
Cyclingnews highlighted contracts in the men's peloton that are believed to be driving the 2025 transfer market, including the long-term futures of Remco Evenepoel, Tadej Pogačar, Tom Pidcock and Julian Alaphilippe.
Confirmed transfers and signings announced on August 1 included Ben O'Connor's shift from Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale to Jayco-AlUla, while other big names such as Jhonatan Narváez will leave Ineos at the end of this season to join UAE Team Emirates and Simon Yates will head to Visma-Lease a Bike.
