Richard Carapaz linked to transfer rumors amid potential EF departure
Professional cyclist Richard Carapaz is the subject of intense transfer speculation as rumors suggest he may leave his current team, EF Education-EasyPost, before his contract expires in 2027.
Former sports director Johan Bruyneel has indicated that a move is highly likely, suggesting Carapaz will not be riding for the American squad next season. According to reports from Het Laatste Nieuws, three teams have expressed interest in the Ecuadorian climber: Netcompany INEOS, NSN Cycling Team, and Pinarello - Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team.
Carapaz, a former Olympic gold medalist and Giro d'Italia winner, previously competed for the INEOS team between 2020 and 2021. While his current contract is publicly set to run through 2027, recent reports suggest a departure at the end of the current season is a strong possibility.
