Since the Tour de France, Richard Carapaz and Netcompany INEOS had been rumoured to be joining forces in 2027, but that was not the case. Separately, both have headlined this week's transfer market - with the British team announcing a full round of transfers.

Since the previous instance of the Cycling Market, there have been few renewals, with the season coming to an end and most World Tour outfits having a good idea of who will be under contract for the 2027 season already.

Movistar were the World Tour team that have stood out this week with the renewal of two of their road captains: Manlio Moro and Filip Maciejuk. After securing their leaders and new talent, the team is now working on its core as well.

Sean Quinn, who was in the mix to try and grab the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, has signed a new three-year deal with EF Education-EasyPost.
