With just over three weeks until the start of the season, Oscar Onley has said his team status is still “up in the air” for 2026.
Speaking to Cyclingnews, the 23-year-old revealed he has had interest from “probably 15 teams” following his fourth place at this summer’s Tour de France.
Asked if he would still be at his current team next year, Onley told Cyclingnews: “For now, yes. We’ll see. But yeah, it’s still things up in the air a little bit.”
The Scot emerged this year as one of the UK’s brightest Grand Tour prospects, finishing just over a minute shy of the Tour podium on only his second appearance at the race. At the same time, Ineos Grenadiers, the UK’s only WorldTour team, are plotting to restore their dominance in three-week races.
“It’s quite obvious that there’s going to be interest in me after coming fourth in the Tour,” said Onley, “and there’s been, I think, probably 15 teams that have reached out to my manager or reached out to the team directly.
“And you know… you also have to capitalise on what I’ve done this year. But, yeah, I can’t really say so much just now.”
Onley’s interview with Cyclingnews came at Australia’s Tour of Bright, where he finished 19th on Sunday.
Asked about his calendar for next year, the 23-year-old said he hadn’t discussed further than January’s Tour Down Under with his current Picnic PostNL. “That will happen next week,” he said, “when we’re at team camp, which is normal at the December camp to talk about the year.”
