The Norwegian team is aiming for a top-five finish with Tobias Halland Johannessen, who placed sixth last year. In addition, Soren Waerenskjold has been designated as the sprinter, and the team also has several riders who can aim for success through breakaways.

"The goal is to repeat what we did in 2025. And that might be even harder this year than last year, because we’ve now said it out loud. A spot in the top five with Tobias is the goal, and that’s the team’s main ambition,” team manager Gabriel Rasch says bluntly.
"Last year, we started as underdogs and our goal was the overall classification. This year, there’s more pressure from the start, and expectations are higher," says Rasch, who emphasizes that putting together a roster was no easy task.
"The hardest part is that we have riders who deserve to race and who have prepared well. At the same time, we also have the Giro and the Vuelta this year, so it's a little different," said the Uno-X sports director, who won a stage in the Giro with Fredrik Dversnes.

Uno-X finalises Tour team
Andreas Leknessund and Anders Halland Johannessen are the reserves, while the team also outlines each rider’s specific roles and goals in the press release it issued. Tobias Halland Johannessen is, of course, named the team leader for the general classification.
Magnus Cort, a stage winner at the Tour in 2018 and 2022, is free to do his thing in sprints with smaller groups and is considered a “stage hunter.” The same goes for Jonas Abrahamsen, last year’s stage winner. He is also seen as a “pillar of support” for Johannessen and Waerenskjold, the team’s sprinter.
Anders Skaarseth is the team leader for this stage, while Anthon Charmig—winner of the first stage in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes—and Andreas Kron will also have the opportunity to seek success through breakaways in addition to providing support. Torstein Traeen is the lead climber for Halland Johannessen.

- I’m still learning the calendar: is cyclocross mainly preparation for the spring classics, or does he race it as a separate goal as well? I’d love to see him back in the mud.jeremya04-11-2026
- The article makes it sound as if Roubaix is the only classic where he has a realistic shot. He’s been close in Flanders too, and one good tactical day can change everything.jennifer1904-11-2026
- Milan-Sanremo and Roubaix is a pretty special pair of Monuments. Any clues yet on which cyclocross races he’ll target?andrewf04-11-2026
- He’s right to be realistic about Flanders with Pogačar and Evenepoel around, but you can’t count Van Aert out on those roads. If he gets the right opportunity, he has the engine and experience to take it.davidm04-11-2026
- That Roubaix win felt like such a release after all the near-misses. Brilliant to hear that joy outweighed relief for Wout.patriciaw04-11-2026
- Why would a mountain time trial be different from a normal one? Is it just that the riders have to climb the whole course?samanthak03-11-2026
- I don’t quite buy the “fear of failure” argument. Riders can race the Giro and still have confidence in July; it comes down to recovery and planning, doesn’t it?patriciaw03-11-2026
- The Giro-Tour double is a massive ask, even for the very best. Pogačar made it look almost routine in 2024, but that’s hardly a sensible benchmark for everyone else!pedalpowe2903-11-2026
- Bakelants makes a fair point: if the 2027 Tour really suits Remco, he can’t afford to dilute the build-up. That 37km flat TT will be tempting, mind.julien03-11-2026
- Mont Blanc sounds like a spectacular finish, though four climbs on the final day might be a bit much after eight hard stages. Hope the route details are clear soon.raceready703-11-2026
