Yet another new chapter in the Cian Uijtdebroecks transfer saga. The young Belgian should join Visma-Lease a Bike on January 1st, from Bora-hansgrohe. We notably learned that he was no longer in the odor of sanctity on the side of the German team, notably according to the words of the podcast In het Wiel from the newspaper Algemeen Dagblad. “He was harassed. During the Vuelta, for example, there was an ‘Anti-Cian’ group on WhatsApp, without him, so that others might gossip regarding him. It’s really childish. He didn’t feel at home on this team at all.”
While he has already joined his future teammates during an internship in Denia in Spain, the UCI has provided an element of response to the termination of Cian’s contract. Under the body’s rules, it is prohibited for a rider to terminate a contract prematurely unless approved by the UCI’s Professional Cycling Council (PCC), which oversees the governance of professional cycling. A meeting would even have taken place this Wednesday.
And according to Het Laaste Nieuws, discussions between UCI lawyers are still ongoing. “Only when they have completed their work can this be submitted to me for signing,” said PCC Chairman Tom Van Damme.
