Cycling's official transfer window is winding down as the new season gets underway, having opened up all the way back on August 1, 2022, ahead of the 2023 season.
There have been plenty of high-profile switches since then, though there are a few names left without deals even at this late stage.
Cyclingnews has been keeping track of all movements – from transfers to contract renewals and retirements – with our dedicated Transfer Hub.
We'll update this page throughout the autumn and winter with every confirmed signing for 2023, building a team-by-team list of ins and outs, while also tracking the latest transfer gossip from the pro peloton.
The 2022-2023 market
The 2022 season hasn't seen the largest class of star riders reaching the end of their contract, though several major riders have made moves for 2023.
Grand Tour stars Richard Carapaz (Ineos to EF), Thymen Arensman (DSM to Ineos), Adam Yates (Ineos to UAE) and Wilco Kelderman (Bora to Jumbo) are all lining up in new colours this season, but it was Mark Cavendishwho commanded the most attention through the off-season.

The sprinter was on the move from QuickStep after two years at the squad, and had been linked with Human Powered Health, Israel-Premier Tech, and Ineos Grenadiers after a nailed-on move to B&B Hotels broke down amid the team's demise.
However, it wasn't until January 17 that his future was confirmed, with Astana Qazaqstan snapping up Cavendish after a month of rumours and training camp sightings.
The other big move of the late winter has been Miguel Angel López's transfer to Medellín-EPM after the Colombian climber was sacked by Astana over his links to a controversial doctor. Out-of-contract Nairo Quintana has also been linked with the team.
2019 Giro champion Carapaz has left Ineos Grenadiers after three years for a new adventure at the struggling EF Education-EasyPost team, while his teammate Yates has joined Tim Wellens in moving to UAE Team Emirates, having previously been linked to his old Jayco-AlUla team.
Ineos have moved to secure Arensman as a replacement as they refresh their squad with the 22-year-old and a host of other young talents. Meanwhile, Kelderman makes the switch to bolster the star-packed Jumbo-Visma lineup which also adds Attila Valter and Jan Tratnik.
The Dutch team have also brought in Paris-Roubaix champion Dylan van Baarle from Ineos, the Dutchman the major Classics name on the move over the winter.
Former Flanders and San Remo champion Alexander Kristoff has also switched it up, stepping away from the WorldTour to his 'home' team of Uno-X. Meanwhile, at Classics powerhouse Soudal-QuickStep, Alpecin-Deceuninck sprinter Tim Merlier replaces Cavendish while Jan Hirt and Casper Pedersen also join.
In the women's market, star sprinter Lorena Wiebes is the biggest mover as she takes advantage of a contract loophole with Team DSM to move on to Dutch powerhouse SD Worx. Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio's transfer from that team to the expected new Women's WorldTour squad AG Insurance-NXTG is another major move.
Elsewhere, Amanda Spratt is leaving BikeExchange-Jayco for Trek-Segafredo while UAE Team ADQ star Mavi Garcia is leaving for Liv Racing-Xstra. Movistar have recruited Liane Lippert and Floortje Mackaij from DSM, while Alicia Barnes moves from Canyon-Sram to Human Powered Health.
Before we take through all the transfers of the off-season, though, a look at the new team names to get acquainted with for 2023.
