When Uno-X Mobility were awarded a Tour de France wildcard for the 2023 edition, the news was greeted with shock and joy. Jens Haugland, the team’s then manager, said he “just started screaming” when he found out. He then made a vow: “We’re not going to be defensive – we’re going to be very positive and attacking in our racing.”
Four years on, the Norwegian team (with a few Danish riders along for the ride) have not only come good on Haugland's words, but fully established themselves as Tour de France regulars, and winners.
