Cycling transfers – Human Powered Health add another fast finisher in Letizia Paternoster as latest moves announced
The ultimate guide to the pro cycling transfer window, tracking every move across the men's and women's WorldTours
Pro cycling's transfer season for 2027 is officially underway, and though the strict August 1 rule no longer exists, the first day of the month still marked a flurry of transfer announcements and the start of what will be a busy few weeks of moves.
Prior to August 1, plenty of contracts have already been extended, and some transfers have been announced or confirmed. Some moves have already taken place mid-season, too, as there are different rules for signing riders who don't currently have a professional contract. Plenty have teams have already confirmed signings of neo-pros from their development squads too.
Teams are allowed to have transfer discussions and ink deals with riders whose contracts are ending before August 1, and often do - especially during the Tour de France, the height of transfer negotiations. Which means plenty of agreements will have been made long before August 1, but may only become public in the coming weeks.
Cyclingnews is tracking all movements during the transfer season – everything from contract renewals to extensions to retirements – with our dedicated transfer index across the men's and women's WorldTeams and ProTeams.
We'll update this page through the rest of the year with every confirmed signing for 2027, building a team-by-team list of ins and outs, while also tracking the latest transfer news from the professional cycling peloton.
Latest transfer news
The week after the Tour de France Femmes saw a flurry of transfer news, including Megan Arens' surprising immediate exit from the troubled Picnic PostNL squad, Femke Markus' move from SD Worx-Protime to Visma-Lease a Bike and Marta Lach signing for Human Powered Health.
On the men's side, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe have bolstered their squad with EF's Georg Steinhauser, and up-and-coming American star AJ August, already a winner of five races this year despite being aged just 20, will move from Netcompany Ineos to Pinarello-Q36.5, with the Swiss team making lots of canny signings for 2027.

Transfer speculation and rumours
Whilst we will only report on the moves we know to be confirmed here, there are plenty of rumours and whispers of moves that will be important this transfer season.
One of the most high-profile riders on the move this season is likely to be breakthrough star Paula Blasi, who is reportedly leaving UAE Team L'IMAD early for another squad – who will have to pay a hefty buy-out fee to release her from her current contract. The only question is who that new team is.
We also understand that Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney is exiting Canyon-SRAM, but again her destination is unknown. There's also a brand new team in the women's peloton, with Decathlon CMA CGM launching a women's ProTeam for 2027, and Cyclingnews understands that they have already filled a 10-rider roster.
Primož Roglič could be on the move from Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe as he looks to extend his career, with Lotto-Intermarché a surprising contender for his signature. And there's still debate over the long-term future of Paul Seixas, though Isaac del Toro extending with UAE Team Emirates-XRG may be a sign he's not heading there.
We'll keep this section updated with some of the most interesting speculation, rumours and riders who are still out of contract as the window progresses.
Retirements and riders out of contract
As well as those on the move for 2027, there are plenty of riders who could be on their way out of the peloton – either by choice as they retire or those that are still searching for a contract.
A whole host of names have already announced their plans to retire, including Damiano Caruso, Magnus Cort, Pello Bilbao, Steven Kruijswijk, Amanda Spratt, Bauke Mollema and more. Kim Cadzow also ended her career with immediate effect recently.
There is speculation over the future of other riders, including Giro d'Italia winner Tao Geoghegan Hart who is out of contract with Lidl-Trek and seems to have been winding down this year, though it won't become clear until later in the year who is really scrambling for a contract.
