It has been known for some time, but now Unibet Rose Rockets has also shared Karsten Larsen Feldmann's arrival with the public. The 22-year-old Norwegian – who signed for two years – rode the past seasons for the continental Team Coop-Repsol and especially this year made a notable impression.
Unibet Rose Rockets is actively building the squad for 2026. In recent weeks, Bas Tietema’s team has announced new riders almost daily, and on Sunday the team confirmed that two stagiaires will remain with the team in the coming years. These are Eivind Broholt Fougner and Colin Savioz. Earlier this week, the team already presented Victor Lafay and Ronan Augé.
In October, we at Wielerflits.nl already reported that Karsten Larsen Feldmann would also race for the team in 2026, and now Unibet Rose Rockets has presented the Norwegian in their own unique way. Feldmann achieved an impressive 22 top-ten finishes in the past road season.
He distinguished himself multiple times in Olympia’s Tour. In the oldest Dutch stage race, he finished in the top ten three times, with a fifth place in the stage to Zwolle as his standout result.

But Feldmann also made a clear impact at an even higher level, among the pros, with top ten finishes in the 2.Pro races Tour of Norway and the Arctic Race of Norway. He continued this strong form into the fall with podium spots in the Tour de l’Avenir, Tour of South Bohemia, and several Belgian one-day races, including a tenth place in the Gooikse Pijl (1.1).
The squad now stands at 27 riders for 2026. In an interview with WielerFlits, Tietema indicated that he is aiming for a team size between 26 and 29 riders. "That depends on the number of races we will participate in, but also where we come from and where our focuses will lie," he said last week.
