Simon Yates at Visma Lease a Bike is the first market move that lights up the 2025 season and relaunches the never-ending challenge with UAE Team Emirates .

It will be very curious, as well as beautiful, to see the two Yates brothers against each other , in an attempt to help their respective captains; Adam for Pogacar and Simon for Vingegaard .  

It is certain that for Simon it could represent a great opportunity for individual redemption, after a few seasons lived a bit in anonymity.  

Even in our YouTube live broadcasts we have often wondered who was “the stronger brother”, but for one reason or another the careers of the two Yates, especially Simon, have always been up and down or difficult to evaluate.

Now we will see them as equals, both acting as luxury gregarious in the two most important teams on the World Tour scene , but also possible captains when the right opportunity arises.

Even in terms of Fantacycling , Simon Yates will be able to relaunch himself and benefit from the competitiveness and motivation that perhaps he lacked in the last two seasons: “It’s a team that I have admired for a long time and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to be part of it – said Simon Yates – I have achieved a lot of success in my career so far and I can’t wait to continue working hard and contribute to the success of the team. Despite the great time spent with my current team, I felt it was time for a change to continue to improve and get the most out of myself. I can’t wait to meet all my new teammates and staff and get off to a great start in 2025”.

There are still a few months to go until the start of the new season, but 2025 is enriched with an interesting ingredient, and this market move could be the first reaction of the Visma team, after the defeat suffered at the Tour de France . We will see some great things…
