As speculated, Julien Vermote will be a Visma Lease a Bike rider replacing the retired Lennard Hofstede. The 34-year-old Belgian told some details of the quick and surprising signing that took him from running on his own in 2023 to signing with the best team in the world.
“Everything happened very quickly the last few days,” he said. “My brother and I are always in contact with the teams, but most of them are crazy about the young people. In that sense, we veterans must regularly let them know that we are still there,” he continued.
“In October I called Zeeman but there was no room. In December he called me Maarten Wynants and he told me that had changed, so I spoke to Zeeman and Nierman again,” he said. “I think the fact that I had communicated previously helped me, they knew my motivation,” he said.
“I must say that at this point in my career it is not easy to impress me, but this team has done it,” said the Belgian, from the past at QuickStep, Dimension Data, Cofidis and Alpecin. “Everything is so well structured that you immediately understand why they do so well in the races,” he concluded.

If the incident is repeated, we will hold a public protest.
