Might come a bit late but who cares?


July was succes-wise the best month ever for TDMLuxembourg

We started the month with the Sibiu Tour (the only tour which we would ride in July)

At stage 3 Tim Curran could collect his first ever win (the second ever for the team) and at the end he brought the mountain jersey and a 4th GC place home from Romania.

For Jean Thill the last stage of the Sibiu Tour would be his 100th and last race before he retires, making him our first Ex-Rider which only rode for our team.

The middle of July was boring. We didn’t ride often, because the manager had vacation

In the end, our team came back to life. Especially Tim Curran who first won at GP Kahramanmaras 2025, marking the first fantasy and the first one-day race win of the team and later also the Thüringer Wald Rundfahrt.

The cherry on top of the cake was the first win and palmarés entry of Magnus Marinus (22 years old) who won the cat 2. race Vuelta a Castilla y Leon.

At the last day of the month Hett Brëier had to left the team after 114 races for it

August and September were hard months. The Donostia San Sebastián Klassikoa didn’t went like we wanted (p10+12)
Portugal was better but still not perfect. Tim Curran, who was on his way to win the GC gets siebed on a Pavé km on stage 8. We still won 4 (3 by Tim Curran; 1 by Jameson Wolf) stages there.
La Vuelta was the best of our goals, p2 and p5 in GC + one stage by Curran and one by Tom Schares, marking his first (and on our team) last win.

In september, our team also rode the Tour de Luxembourg, where Ricardo Teixeira took red in his home country marking his first palmaré entry. Jameson Wolf got 6th in GC with some badluck. 5th or 4th should have been possible, but on the last stage the manager was quite off.

October was a nice month even though the team only participated in 14 races.

In the start of march, Aurora could win the Giro dell Emilia marking the first classic win of the team. This was followed by a
short phase of no racing because of some private issues, but after a few days a perfect comeback was marked with a p3 by Tim Curran in Lombardia and another win by Aurora at the category 2 race Trofeo Tessile & Moda - Valdengo Oropa.

On the 19th of October after a disappointing Guanxi Tour, 5 of the 10 riders got sold which (pretty much) finished our riding of the month.

On the last day of the month, there were NCs:

On 26th bought Luc Pirdon and Tim Curran got 2nd in France/Canada, missing the jersey close. After these two „failed“ races on 16h, the manager already stopped hoping on a jersey,

but in the evening, there would be a surprise: 23-year-old Bruno Teixeira takes the Luxembourgish jersey home, after a hard fight against rfscl‘s 12 (later 3 vs. 2) riders.
