Marco Brenner has committed his long-term future to Tudor Pro Cycling less than a week after winning the Tour de Pologne. 

Tudor confirmed on Wednesday morning that the 23-year-old German has signed a contract extension through the end of the 2030 season. 

He joins French climber Mathys Rondel in having a contract until 2030 with Tudor, after the 22-year-old Frenchman extended his deal back in March. 

“I am really happy to extend my contract and continue my journey with Tudor Pro Cycling," Brenner said in an official statement. "When I joined the Team in 2024, I found a nice environment that allowed me to perform and find joy."

“And when I was injured and working on my way back last year, I was given the time and support I needed. I now look forward to adding a few more years to this journey.”

Brenner joined Tudor in 2024 from Team dsm-Firmenich (now Picnic PostNL). In his debut season with the Swiss ProTeam, Brenner won a stage at the Coppi e Bartali and became German road race champion. 

Last season saw the German overcome adversity following a crash he suffered on stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia, which forced him to abandon the race and ruled him out of action for over three months. 

“Marco is a young rider we truly believe in," said team CEO Raphael Meyer. “His rehabilitation and return to racing after his severe crash at the 2025 Giro d’Italia are a testament to his fighting spirit – a quality that also defines him as a racer."

On Sunday, Brenner secured the first GC and WorldTour victories of his career by winning the Tour de Pologne. 

The 23-year-old sealed overall victory in the final stage’s individual time trial, jumping from fourth to first overall, becoming the first German winner of the Polish race since Jens Voigt in 2008.

“Last week’s Tour de Pologne was a perfect example of Marco’s determination and resilience, and a great result of both tremendous teamwork and our born to dare racing spirit,” added Meyer. 

The confirmation of the contract extension will provide Brenner and Tudor with a positive boost as they prepare for the Vuelta a España, which will mark the German rider’s third Grand Tour participation.
