On the table, Fabio Jakobsen had two options: renew with Quick-Step or sign with DSM. Well, according to Wielerflits – who has closely followed this novel – the Dutchman would have opted for a change of scenery, so everything is heading towards him showing off new colors in 2024.
BORA leaves the bid for Jakobsen, who must decide between Quick-Step and DSM
With the arrival of a new sponsor (Firmenich), the bet of the Dutch licensed structure was clear: bet on sprints with a top sprinter. And although the bid was not easy, with interest from BORA included, they are about to win.
The question now comes down to finding the best possible pitcher available on the market, aware that Danny Van Poppel has already renewed with his current team. The presence of men with room for improvement, such as Nils Eekhoff, Niklas Märkl and Casper van Uden will not be enough to guarantee a quality launch for one of today’s best players.
It is true that Quick-Step did not push too hard to retain the European road champion, as they have another quality sprinter in Tim Merlier and their priorities are to build a block around Remco Evenepoel and improve the classics block.
Despite the fact that his place in the ‘Wolfpack’ would not be the same, it is still a risky change, since the same story has been in charge of demonstrating what happens to those who leave the team… they are not the same again. And DSM, which does not offer the best train, also has its administrative ‘buts’ that could become a headache for Jakobsen in the future.
