After a winter transfer season dominated by the Cian Uitjdebroeks saga, Visma-Lease a Bike have been accused of trying to sign another under-contract rider, this time Andreas Kron of Lotto-Dstny.
The Dutch squad eventually signed Uijtdebroeks after paying a fee to his former team Bora-Hansgrohe in order to break his contract a year early. In contrast to other sports like football, such a move is rare in cycling, where riders usually only move teams upon the expiration of their contracts.
