The cycling transfer market continues to move decisively ahead of 2027 and in recent hours two significant operations have been announced involving young but already established names.

The most striking move concerns Ludovico Crescioli, born in 2003, from Lazzeretto in Tuscany, who has been the protagonist of a season of strong growth. The winner of the Giro dell'Appennino and author of a solid Giro d'Italia performance is leaving Team Polti VisitMalta to join Groupama FDJ United, a French team that continues to invest in emerging talent. Crescioli will enter a structured and competitive environment, where he will also find French champion Romain Gregoire.

An important move also for NSN Cycling Team, which announces the signing of Artem Shmidt, American time trial champion and winner of the Classique of Dunkerque. The American rider thus closes his experience with Netcompany INEOS, choosing the Swiss team to open a new chapter in his career. Shmidt arrives with clear ambitions: to grow, improve, and find space and responsibility in a team that has proven capable of developing its riders.
