With Wout van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Matthew Brennan, we’ve already heard from the main protagonists of our team over the past year. But what about the man in the team car behind most of this season’s successes? We joined him in what he calls his living room - the team bus - to talk about winning Grand Tours, lessons learned for next year, and above all: how do you build a team for 2026? How does the selection process work? Where did we need to improve? And how do you find the right profiles to make a team truly click? We take a closer look at every reinforcement for 2026.
