Poels signs with Unibet Tietema Rockets
The Unibet Tietema Rockets, next year to be known as the Unibet Rose Rockets, have signed Wout Poels for 2026, bringing another high-profile Dutchman to a squad that has already announced a deal with Dylan Groenewegen.
Poels, 38, may be a few years removed from his Monumental win at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but he played his part in XDS-Astana's efforts to amass UCI points this season by winning a stage and the overall title at the Tour of Turkey, and will be among the best climbers in his new team.
