Picnic-PostNL are hoping Max Poole can step up and fill the gap left by Oscar Onley's transfer to Ineos Grenadiers, with the 22-year-old Briton keen to finally prove his Grand Tour talents at the 2026 Giro d'Italia.

Onley had a nearly perfect summer in 2025, finishing third at the Tour de Suisse and fourth overall at the Tour de France. His results sparked interest from a number of teams, with Ineos Grenadiers eventually raising their offer to a reported €6 million, enough to convince Picnic-PostNL to let him leave.
