Here's when we'll know the 2027 calendars of the GC favourites: Pogačar, Seixas, Vingegaard and more

Decathlon CMA CGM usually chooses to organise two media days. In recent years, the first of these two has always been held in Lille, where the title sponsor, Decathlon, is headquartered. There, on Monday, December 7, we will almost certainly learn which Grand Tour Paul Seixas has chosen for 2027.

The young Frenchman, who has already hinted that he wants to make the World Championships in his home region a major goal, appears to be choosing between the Giro and the Tour . After the team presentation, Seixas will fly to Spain on a charter flight with the rest of the team for the first training camp leading up to 2027.

The cycling press will be in the Balearic Islands on December 11. That Thursday, Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe will be holding its media day in Mallorca to preview the upcoming season.

Last year, we asked Remco Evenepoel point-blank whether he would ride the Tour of Flanders, with the result we all know by now... This year, the main question seems to be whether he’ll add Milan–San Remo and/or Paris–Roubaix to his schedule, while it would be a surprise if he were to take on the more gruelling Giro route as well.

Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe is typically the only—and, of course, German—team based in Mallorca, while the other major German team still trains on the Spanish mainland. On Tuesday, December 15, the leaders of Lidl-Trek—including Felix Gall, Juan Ayuso, Mads Pedersen, and Mattias Skjelmose—will present their goals for the upcoming season.

It will be interesting to see how Lidl-Trek divides its many leaders among the riders, and the same goes for the women’s team with its new addition, Kasia Niewiadoma. That week will be a busy one for the women’s teams and their top riders, as SD Worx-Protime (Kasia Niewiadoma), FDJ-Suez (Demi Vollering), and Visma | Lease a Bike (Pauline Ferrand-Prévot) will all be in the spotlight that week.

Visma | Lease a Bike will open its doors to the press on the Costa Brava on Thursday, December 17. On that day, we’ll likely find out which Grand Tour(s) Jonas Vingegaard will compete in in 2027, while it will also be interesting to learn more about the goals of riders such as Wout van Aert, Matteo Jorgenson, and Matthew Brennan.

A day after the Dutch team, it’s UAE Emirates-XRG’s turn to present its plans at the end of its first training camp leading up to 2027. Tadej Pogačar is, of course, the man around whom much of the focus revolves, though that would be doing a disservice to Isaac del Toro, Brandon McNulty, Joao Almeida, and so many others.
