CicloMercato 2026, WorldTour and Professional riders without contracts

There are still numerous formation runners WorldTour o Professional who will remain without a contract tomorrow. If the CicloMercato 2026 is approaching its final stages, however there are still 51 athletes from teams of the first two divisions still without a team in view of the new year. In a scenario in which there is no shortage of teams that have already closed their roster, due to the maximum number reached or for having announced the closure of their CicloMercato, unfortunately many of these men (considering that among the professional teams there have been closures and mergers that have made the scenario even more difficult) risk being forced, as others have already had to do in the past weeks, to make difficult choices for their future.

So let’s find out in detail who are those who currently do not appear – at least officially – to have signed a contract yet, be it a renewal or a new arrangement for the new season, or have not yet announced the (more or less voluntary) decision to end their career. The list also includes those athletes whose teams have never communicated the exact duration of the contract, and who therefore may be free for the next season.
