After a long transfer saga, its now official. Quinten Hermans will be joining @AlpecinDCK next year!
Alpecin-Deceuninck are joining the World Tour in the coming season and they are reinforcing their team with new riders, one of them being confirmed today as long-term rumour Quinten Hermans is set to join the Belgian team.
The Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux rider was known to be leaving, and if any other confirmation was necessary, his Tour de France snub confirmed the lack of a strong relationships between the team management and the Belgian rider. With the goal of continuing his successful cyclocross career, Hermans will join the team that connects the two disciplines the best at a pro-level: Alpecin-Deceuninck.
He will be linking up with classics specialists Mathieu van der Poel and Gianni Vermeersch, aswell as several other riders who dedicate their winter to the off-road. Hermans is then a perfect fit, also being one of the country's top riders in both disciplines. He has finished second at Liége-Bastogne-Liège this year, aswell as winning the queen stage at the Baloise Belgium Tour.
Hermans is currently racing the Tour de Pologne where he sits in third place after four stages and is in the battle for the overall classification.
We are happy to announce our new signings from 2023 and onwards! #AlpecinDeceuninck

- Yes! Clear up these gray areas before lives are lost or damaged!velodan14-11-2024
- Surely the question should be what else are they using as they smash climbing records? Records that have stood since the EPO era.DJ14-11-2024
- Why? He is past his "sell by "date. Just like Froome.
ScottG14-11-2024 - Without Wout or mvdp cyclocross is a sleeperScottG14-11-2024
- Tom has a bit of an overblown image of himself. Contrast him to Pog- night and day.ScottG14-11-2024
- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Why don’t you go copy-paste from a reliable scientific site instead of accepting the first info Google provides which is by no means scientific. Like I said before differently, EVERYTHING is poisonous if you replace the Oxygen you need with it. Breathing pure Oxygen will kill most of us in almost every situation (hospital deliver pure oxygen but dilute with air before inhalation so just enrich) fighter pilots and astronauts get pure oxygen because there is almost none in the atmosphere but as the pressure is far lower the concentration in the lungs remains similar to the N78/O21 known as air). nitrogen/oxygen instead of 80/20 (basically air) will likely kill you too. Nitrogen is completely neutral and unabsorbed yet you die from 100% so is it poisonous, no. It’s the wrong DOSE that is poisoning!Mistermaumau14-11-2024
