There is no shortage of news at the Jumbo Visma, which she rushed to do first renew Wout Van Aert's contract until 2024, securing one of the most important pawns of the present and the future. The sudden transition of Hirschi at UAE Team Emirates has raised some alarm bells and whoever has a jewel at home hastened to put it away.
Pogacar in the crosshairs
The second, more subtle aspect is that of doing common front against the Emirati team, with a series of statements which, albeit mildly, have already begun to increase the pressure on Pogacar.
When the three leaders of Jumbo Visma – Roglic, Dumoulin and Kruijswijk – started to define “surprising” the performance of the young Slovenian and the press gave the inevitable emphasis, Pogacar had to free himself from the grip, calling his deeds “unexpected, but certainly not surprising”.
In any case, Jumbo Visma reiterated that he will be at the Tour de France with the trident, wanting to recover from last year's horrendous defeat, which indeed gave rise to the Liège and Roglic's Vuelta, but it is difficult to pretend that on the day of the Planche des Belles Filles one does not haunt one like a ghost.
Cervélo is coming
For the new challenge, the team he left White and it went to Cervélo which equipped Team Sunweb last year. Of the news we already told you about it, but in the meantime, in addition to the frames, the mechanical equipment has been defined, which sees confirm groups on Canadian bikes Shimano: Dura Ace for the men's and women's WorldTour teams and Ultegra for the Development team.
