Team Picnic PostNL is thrilled to announce the signing of Dillon Corkery, James Knox, and Oliver Peace for the 2026 squad. Corkery spent the second half of the season as a stagiaire with the team and has signed a contract until 2027. Peace, who is stepping up from the development squad, will also wear the team's jersey until 2027, while experienced climber Knox has signed a contract for 2026.

Dillon Corkery. An Irish rider born in '99, Corkery is a late-blooming cycling talent, honing his skills first among amateurs and then in the Continental circuit in France. In the past, he even worked part-time as a laborer while racing. In 2025, he made a significant leap, impressing many with his performances in the first part of the year. After an attacking race, he finished sixth at the GP de Denain. He also demonstrated versatility and an effective sprint with eighth place at Roue Tourangelle and third in the opening stage of the Région Pays de la Loire Tour. These results earned him a stagiaire contract with the team, with which he recently made his debut at the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen.

James Knox. Joining the team for 2026, Knox brings extensive experience, having raced at the highest levels since 2018, the year of his professional debut. A strong and reliable climber, Knox excels when the gradients become challenging; he finished 11th in the general classification of the Vuelta a España in 2019, along with other significant results at World Tour and professional levels. He is also known for his team spirit: a dependable mountain domestique who performs impeccable work, critically contributing to his teammates' success in the world's biggest races.

Oliver Peace. After growing up in the Team Picnic PostNL development squad, Peace spent two excellent seasons with the team, competing in a variety of competitions against different-level opponents. 2024 was a breakthrough year for him, transitioning from juniors to the next category and distinguishing himself in various races, gaining valuable experience by also racing with the men's program in events like the Tour of the Alps and Tour of Britain. He then crowned his season with a solid sixth place among the vineyards of Paris-Tours Espoirs. In 2025, he continued to grow, with an excellent 11th place in the general classification at the Tour du Rwanda. He also made a fundamental contribution to the team's and national team's objectives, which he represented in races like the Tour de l'Avenir.
