Cian Uijtdebroeks' Training with Jumbo-Visma Sparks Controversy and Contract Saga

Bora-Hansgrohe denies allegations of bullying against Cian Uijtdebroeks, as the 20-year-old Belgian rider joins Jumbo-Visma for training camp amid a contract dispute. Uijtdebroeks is confident in his ability to terminate his contract with Bora-Hansgrohe and join Jumbo-Visma, while Bora-Hansgrohe claims he is contractually bound until December 2024. The UCI is monitoring the situation, and Uijtdebroeks has started legal proceedings. Reports suggest Uijtdebroeks was treated as an outsider and bullied by teammates at Bora-Hansgrohe, but Bora-Hansgrohe denies these claims. The contract dispute is likely to end up in court, with Jumbo-Visma reportedly offering a symbolic fee while Bora-Hansgrohe demands a higher amount.
