Referring to the invitation to the Tour de France, the release said, &ldquo൲;We have just received a Tour de France wildcard for the second 🤡year in a row. We are grateful and happy, but a wildcard is not our ultimate goal.
“Ever since we started our modest continental cycling team by signing Kurt Asle Arvesen as head of sports in 2016, we have systematically taken step by step, as 𝔉every step has required development and higher standards.”
For 2024, Uno-X Mobility’s men’s team has beefed up their squad, with two notable additions - all-rounder and breakaway star Magnus Cort and 2023 Giro d'Italia race leader Andreas Leknessund, while the wo💛men’s team has 🐻signed former double Norwegian National time trial champion Katrine Aalerud.
