Team Jumbo-Visma and sports director Verhoeven part ways
After years of successful cooperation, Nico Verhoeven will leave the support staff of Team Jumbo-Visma after this season. Since the end of the nineties, Verhoeven has been sports director at Team Jumbo-Visma and its predecessors.
The specific qualities of the 58-year-old former professional cyclist are less evident in the evolving profile of Team Jumbo-Visma. It has been decided that the end of this memorable season is the best time to part ways.
Team Jumbo-Visma has achieved more than fifty wins this year, including four stage victories in the Tour de France and the general classification in the Vuelta a España. In recent years, Verhoeven has been one of the founders of these successes.
