The report asked recipients to describe the World Class Programme culture in three words; driven was the first, but toxic was the second, and 31% of 41 riders and staff had witnessed or experienced thoughtless, inappropriate, or unacceptable behaviour in the last year.It comes almost a decade after an independent review commissioned by UK Sport found a culture of fear existed.Picnic PostNL also address allegationsA.S.O. Germany/Marcel HilgerPicnic PostNL have responded to a report by Dutch public broadcaster NOS, which alleged there was a culture of fear at the team, by saying we do not recognise ourselves in the overall picture presented.The report said that riders and team staff allegedly left the team traumatised. One instance included Martijn Tusveld disagreeing with a team tactic during the 2020 Giro dItalia to sports director Rudi Kemna, to be then told he was creating a negative atmosphere at the end of the season and that no major races were on his calendar for the following year. Tusveld felt he could no longer speak up and felt unable to give feedback or share his feelings.NOS Sport and In De Waaier spoke to 71 people who work or worked for the team, with some speaking of a culture of fear and an unsafe working situation. One former cyclist said everyone is afraid of management as a former staff member alleged riders were not seen as people.Picnic PostNL said they will commission an independent investigation into their team culture.The news doesnt come at a good time for the team, who only just scraped their first WorldTour win of 2026 at the Tour of Guangxi, and rumours suggest they may voluntarily drop out of the WorldTour this winter.Final races of the season crossed offRemco wins his final race of the season by over two minutes Evenepoel takes victory at the Chrono des Nations ahead of Jay Vine and Stefan Kng. https://t.co/Zf65dNEFAZ Cycling on TNT Sports (@cyclingontnt) October 18, 2026World ITT Champion Remco Evenepoel topped the standings in the mens Chrono des Nations time-trial at the weekend.
