Jumbo-Visma has announced the contract extension of three riders that are currently in the Giro d'Italia. Antwan Tolhoek, Koen Bouwman and Sepp Kuss will remain at the Dutch team until at least 2021.
The trio is supporting Primoz Roglic in the Cora Rosa. "I feel at home in this team", Bouwman said about this news. "Since the first race I rode as a professional, I have been part of this team."
Kuss in happy to remain in the team for at least two more seasons. "They gave each one of us the confidence that we can make the steps to develop", the American said. "It's a really fair team. It makes sense to stay with that progression."
Tolhoek is also pleased about his contract extension. "Everyone has been riding here for a long time already," he explained. "That's for a good reason. In this team, people work to make everyone better. That's why I think we all want to stay. This results in us occasionally standing out. We hope to do that more often in the future."
Jumbo-Visma's general manager Richard Plugge also showed his satisfaction about the extensions. "They've developed here and they're showing amazing things. They are growing into sidekicks for one of the biggest contenders here in the Giro d'Italia. I think it's very cool that this has grown so much in our organisation."
