No Tour for Kristoff in his final season
Uno-X Mobility has unveiled its Tour de France roster, revealing that veteran sprint star Alexander Kristoff has not been selected "in what is expected to be his final season." The 37-year-old Norwegian is a four-time stage winner but Uno-X has decided to focus on the future with its Tour lineup. To the team's credit, that decision was addressed as part of the roster reveal.
"Leaving out Alexander was incredibly tough,” said team boss Thor Hushovd. "He absolutely deserved a final Tour appearance, and I'm confident he would have delivered – just like he always does. But this year, we've chosen Søren Wærenskjold as our main sprinter. He's shown he can win sprints against the very best. Together with Stian Fredheim, he forms a promising duo. It's a decision that also reflects the future of our team."
