Transfer bomb: Olympic triathlon champion Kristian Blummenfelt on his way to Jayco AlUla after Paris?

Kristian Blummenfelt’s name needs no introduction to anyone who practices triathlon or endurance sports in general. The 30-year-old Norwegian is a true superstar, Olympic and world champion at multiple distances and there is currently no more complete figure in the men’s field than him. However, 2025 could bring a huge and at the same time very exciting change.

The Triathlon Hour, well informed in triathlon news, reported on Sunday that Blummenfelt will continue as a road cyclist and will sign a three-year contract with Jayco AlUla in the WorldTour from January.

The rumors that Blummenfelt is switching to professional cycling have been going around for almost a year. Since March 2021, Blummenfelt has been in close contact with Giant/Cadex, also a key partner of Jayco, and the Australian team is particularly fond of Santara Tech – their sports science project considered a breakthrough in the sport’s training methods. when it comes to the technical background.

After the Olympic Games in Paris, Blummenfelt will move to Andorra, one of the most popular places for professional cyclists to live and train. That is also where Jayco has its unofficial European base. Chance?

Another detail that could point to Blummenfelt’s switch to road is his decision to quickly turn his attention to the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. Perhaps seen as a nice race to say goodbye to the sport.
