Tim Heemskerk said: “Over the past period, I have noticed that I was struggling to continue applying my creativity and passion, which are important to me in my work as a coach. That was the moment for me to be honest with myself and with the team. I look back with pride on the growth of the team, myself, and the riders, including of course Jonas. In the coming period, I will take some time for myself and reflect on my future.”
"We are extremely grateful to Tim for the contribution he has made to the team"
Mathieu Heijboer added: “We are extremely grateful to Tim for the contribution he has made to the team over the past years. He has played a major role in the development of the training philosophy we apply within the team and in achieving our sporting results. Over the past period, I have had many conversations with Tim, and I believe this is the best outcome. I wish him all the best in the next stage of his career.”
