Superteams are a mainstay in the World Tour peloton from UAE and Jumbo in the men's pack, to the inexorable rise of Canyon-SRAM in the women's. One team is aiming to join their number with a radical philosophy - "don't be a prick" and back the homegrown talent from your nation. Uno X earned their first Tour de France wildcard spot in 2023, entering the race with a roster built entirely from Danish and Norwegian riders - they have a women's team and a development team and continue to add bigger names to their roster every season - with Andreas Leknessund and Magnus Cort joining their men's team roster. Their women's team though less rigidly tied to the Dano-Norwegian rider selection with Brits, Swedes, and Italians amongst their roster - but their ambition is no smaller. Both teams aim for the World Tour and in this conversation Jens Haugland reveals his action plan to get there. Bobby and Jens is a Shocked Giraffe production for Velo.

Professional cycling is a battlefield, it can be hard to stand out, harder still to survive. At the continental level it can be even tougher. Sponsorship issues and losing your best riders to the World Tour means bosses need to think outside the box in order to survive.

We speak to Richard Pascoe about how his team is breaking the mould from keeping their jersey sponsor free, to their ambitious plans to become carbon neutral.. oh and how they plan to stop Wout Van Aert, Tom Pidcock and Co at the Tour of Britain.
