“Team Jumbo-Visma is one of the best teams in the world. The past years, the team has grown bigger and it has become more professional. I’m very happy that the team wants me and that I get this opportunity”, Pfingsten said.

At Team Jumbo-Visma, the former cyclocross rider will meet quite a few familiar people. “Besides the riders I know from the peloton, I know my compatriots Tony Martin and Paul Martens well. I also was teammates with Dylan Groenewegen at Cyclingteam De Rijke a few years ago.”
